Splintered Summer

[Verse 1] You left your hoodie On the backseat of my car Still smells like cheap shampoo And that bar you loved too much I drive past your exit Every time Every time Just to hurt Mouth full of things I should’ve said Chewing on the worst of my words [Chorus] I’m still screaming in a parking lot At a version of you that never shows up Pulled my heart out by the threads You just watched it unravel Watched it I’m still stuck in that splintered summer Kicking gravel till my knuckles bled If moving on is growing up Then I’m stunted I’m stunted instead [Verse 2] Your name’s still carved In the booth of that diner off 29 I trace the letters with my thumb Like I could rewrite the line Friends say you were poison But I drank every drop you gave Now I’m pacing through an empty room Arguing with air like it’s gonna change [Chorus] I’m still screaming in a parking lot At a version of you that never shows up Pulled my heart out by the threads You just watched it unravel Watched it I’m still stuck in that splintered summer Kicking gravel till my knuckles bled If moving on is growing up Then I’m stunted I’m stunted instead [Bridge] I hope your coffee’s always bitter I hope your tires always slide I hope you hear my name in every quiet house When you’re trying not to cry (oh) [Chorus] I’m still screaming in a parking lot At a version of you that never shows up Pulled my heart out by the threads You just watched it unravel Watched it I’m still stuck in that splintered summer Kicking gravel till my knuckles bled If healing means forgiving you Guess I’d rather stay broken instead
