Chalk Dust

[Verse 1] We drew hearts on broken boards like None of this would rot Counted cracks and called them stars Traced the pain without a sound [Pre-Chorus] Your handwriting is fading But I know just where you sat Funny what the years remember Funny what they don't give back [Chorus] We counted cracks and called them stars Drew little hearts in chalk I still remember where you sat Forget the things we talked The bell stopped ringing years ago But sometimes I still hear A little piece of who we were Still waiting somewhere here [Verse 2] Branches through the window now Leaves across the floor Pages from our old books turn When the wind comes through the door I can almost see your face The way I saw it then But every time I get too close It blurs around the edge [Pre-Chorus] Your name is getting harder To read beneath the dust I remember how it felt More than I remember us [Chorus] We counted cracks and called them stars Drew little hearts in chalk I still remember where you sat Forget the things we talked The bell stopped ringing years ago But sometimes I still hear A little piece of who we were Still waiting somewhere here [Bridge] Chalk dust on my fingertips Your name beneath my hand For a second I remember Then I lose it all again [Final Chorus] We counted cracks and called them stars Drew little hearts in chalk I still remember where you sat Forget the things we talked The bell stopped ringing years ago But sometimes I still hear A little piece of who we were Still waiting somewhere here [Outro] One more heart upon the board One more thing I couldn't save Leave the window open wide Let the green grow through our names
