[Intro]
faded light on the kitchen counter, where plans once lived in bloom
I trace the corners of a map that folded up too soon
[Verse 1]
We sketched a future in coffee stains and midnight tunes
You laughed at the edges, I believed the steady moon
Now the city hums in color I somehow learned to ignore
The future we drafted sits quiet behind the door
[Pre-Chorus]
If hope had a doorway, I’d keep it ajar
But the days walk past me like trains in the dark
[Chorus]
I dreamed in neon, you slept in rain
The dreams were bright, the days stayed plain
The you I planned is a memory I keep
In the ordinary dawns that wake me from sleep
[Verse 2]
The calendar cries with stickers of what could have been
We spoke in verbs of constellations and skin
Yet the present hums with a gentle, steady gray
And I learn to love the slow, unglamorous day
[Pre-Chorus]
If hope had a doorway, I’d keep it ajar
But the days walk past me like trains in the dark
[Chorus]
I dreamed in neon, you slept in rain
The dreams were bright, the days stayed plain
The you I planned is a memory I keep
In the ordinary dawns that wake me from sleep
[Bridge]
Maybe someday a corner of the heart will glow again
Not with the same spark, but a different, kinder flame
[Chorus]
I dreamed in neon, you slept in rain
The dreams were bright, the days stayed plain
The you I planned is a memory I keep
In the ordinary dawns that wake me from sleep
In the ordinary dawns that wake me from sleep
[Outro]
I walk the quiet streets, where colors learn to fade
And I smile at the plans I had, who learned to stay
