Prompt / Lyrics
[Verse 1] You wore that faded wool coat Tea steam shaking in your hands Rain on the window Soft halo Names on our tongues we never said [Chorus] All the roads we didn’t take Curl like smoke behind us now Every almost Every ache Living in the silence of that vow We were standing on the edge of it Hearts a breath from breaking faith All the roads we didn’t take Still run through me [Verse 2] You laughed And bit down on your lip Said “We’d ruin everything” Church bells dragging through the mist Rings on our fingers Heavy as stone [Chorus] All the roads we didn’t take Curl like smoke behind us now Every almost Every ache Living in the silence of that vow We were standing on the edge of it Hearts a breath from breaking faith All the roads we didn’t take Still run through me [Bridge] I feel your gaze in quiet rooms (oh) Like a tide that never comes in You said “This is how we stay good” I said nothing You heard everything [Chorus] All the roads we didn’t take Winding through the heathered hills Every promise we kept shaking Like a glass we couldn’t spill We were standing on the edge of it Choosing who we wouldn’t break All the roads we didn’t take Are the ones that keep me awake [Outro] Just your name In the back of my throat Just one step We never took
