Still Could

You found me stuck in this old house

Bored and stuck to the floor

You laughed when I yelled at my pops

You Said "baby

Why do you do that for?

You kept the windows wide open

When I tried to shut down the world

You turned my worst nights into stories

I tell like a kid showing scars to the girl

You were my lifting in the low times

Holding on steady in the high

Stayed when the sun felt too bright

Stayed when I only wanted night

You were the heartbeat in the background

Every ordinary afternoon

But I know I wish we still could

I wish we still could

I miss you in everything I do

You loved my coffee too bitter

My plans that never made any sense

You were always running around with me,

Around all my accidents

Now every street’s a reminder

Every shortcut cuts too deep

I see your face when I go fishing

Then lose you in the rush of the week

You were my lifting in the low times

Holding on steady in the high

Stayed when the sun felt too bright

Stayed when I only wanted night

You were the heartbeat in the background

Every ordinary afternoon

But I know I wish we still could

I wish we still could

I miss you in everything I do

I still talk to your side of the bed (hey)

Argue with your ghost in my head

Scroll through the photos I can’t delete

Like I’m rewinding what I can’t keep

If loving you taught me anything

It’s how to stand up when I fall

But I’d trade every single lesson

Just to hear you laugh in my bedroom

Or see you down the hall

You were my lifting in the low times

Holding on steady in the high

Stayed when the sun felt too bright

Stayed when I only wanted night

You were the heartbeat in the background

Every “fine

I swear I’m fine” you told

I don't know what happened

Because my memory's getting old

But I know I wish we still could

God

I wish we still could

I miss you

More than I’ll ever let you know
