Prompt / Lyrics
Verse 1 You leave your glass half-full on the table Like you’re coming back for it soon There’s a crack in the wall by the window I swear it looks like you And I don’t mean to read into everything But you’re in all the in-betweens Like the pause before someone answers Or the space in a melody Pre-Chorus I don’t say it out loud anymore But I still think it when I’m bored Chorus You come back to me in small ways In the corners of my days In the way I turn my head Like I heard something you said And it’s quiet, it’s not loud Just a feeling hanging around I don’t reach for you like I used to But you’re still there when I do Verse 2 There’s a song that you used to play In your car when we’d drive too fast I heard it in a grocery store And it hit me like the past I didn’t cry, I just stood still Like my body knew the drill Like it’s easier to freeze in place Than admit I still feel Pre-Chorus I don’t talk about you anymore But I haven’t closed that door Chorus You come back to me in small ways In the corners of my days In the way I check my phone Like I’m not already alone And it’s quiet, it’s not loud Just a shadow in the crowd I don’t need you like I used to But I still think that I do Bridge (soft, almost spoken) It’s not like before It’s not all-consuming It’s just… You in a color You in a sound You in the way I still slow down Final Chorus (slightly fuller, warm swell) You come back to me in small ways In the shape of ordinary days In the things I never say But somehow never gave away And it’s quiet, it’s not loud Just a soft and steady cloud I don’t love you like I used to But I think I still do Outro (gentle, fading) Just in small ways Only in small ways
