[Verse 1]
Store shelves empty
Calendar too
I was counting cases
Not looking for you
Blue tape arrows
On a grocery floor
You laughed, “Guess we’re dancing”
Right there by the door
[Chorus]
They said 6 feet apart, but our hearts wouldn’t part
I was scared of the sickness
You were healing my scars
In a world gone quiet, you were singing in the dark
They said 6 feet apart, but our hearts wouldn’t part
[Verse 2]
Face mask freckles
Fog on your glass
We shared bad coffee
And screens in the grass
Drive-by birthdays
Headlights and cards
You held my elbow
Like it might fall apart
[Chorus]
They said 6 feet apart, but our hearts wouldn’t part
I was scared of the sickness
You were healing my scars
In a world gone quiet, you were singing in the dark
They said 6 feet apart, but our hearts wouldn’t part
[Bridge]
All that distance
Only did one thing
Made your name echo
Through everything (oh)
[Chorus]
They said 6 feet apart, but our hearts wouldn’t part
I was scared of the ending
You were lighting the start
When the headlines shouted, you were whispering “take heart”
They said 6 feet apart, but our hearts wouldn’t part
