[Intro]
Soft VHS glow, a quiet hum in the room
Frames aged by laughter, a dusty afternoon
[Verse 1]
We press play on a day that felt like bread and light
A kettle on the stove, a sink full of spill and sighs
The kitchen clock keeps time with our clumsy lines
We traded grand plans for ordinary nights
[Chorus]
If I close my eyes, I hear us in the hallway
Tiny talk, small jokes, the sound of yesterday
Distance grows like weather in a window pane
But these quiet moments pull me back again
[Verse 2]
The couch is torn and familiar, the television sighs
A whispered joke that didn’t land, we forgave it with our eyes
We didn’t save the world, we saved a simple day
And maybe that’s enough to keep us safe and okay
[Chorus]
If I close my eyes, I hear us in the hallway
Tiny talk, small jokes, the sound of yesterday
Distance grows like weather in a window pane
But these quiet moments pull me back again
[Bridge]
I’m here but a little farther than before
Screenlight echoes of a time I can’t restore
Still I reach for the warmth in the ordinary
And pretend the miles aren’t so cold, so ordinary
[Chorus]
If I close my eyes, I hear us in the hallway
Tiny talk, small jokes, the sound of yesterday
Distance grows like weather in a window pane
But these quiet moments pull me back again
[Outro]
Play it once more, through the dust and the glow
We were there, we were us, in the small, before we know
