[Verse 1] You left your jacket on the kitchen chair Like you were coming back, but you weren't there Two coffee cups, one cracked along the rim Funny how a little break can finish him [Pre-Chorus] We built a language out of borrowed time Then stopped translating every warning sign [Chorus] So here's to the friend I can't call anymore To the key that doesn't fit my door We had our fire, we had our run Now I raise my glass to what we've done No, I won't chase what won't remain I'll learn your absence by a different name [Verse 2] Your birthday card is folded in a drawer I read the first line, never read the rest anymore The record we bought still skips at track nine Some things keep spinning after goodbye [Pre-Chorus] I heard your version from a mutual friend You made me wrong so you could make it end [Chorus] So here's to the friend I can't call anymore To the key that doesn't fit my door We had our fire, we had our run Now I raise my glass to what we've done No, I won't chase what won't remain I'll learn your absence by a different name [Guitar Solo] [Bridge] Maybe we were brave, maybe we were blind Maybe holding on was wasting both our lives I won't turn the knife, I won't rewrite the years I'll keep the good and leave the bitterness here [Final Chorus] Here's to the friend I can't call anymore To the footsteps fading past my door We had our fire, we had our run And I raise my glass to what we've done No, I won't chase what won't remain I'll wear the distance without shame [Outro] Without shame I let you go Without shame I let you go
