Crumpled Ink

[Intro]
[Verse]
Cold air in the hallway
Ink is fading away
Two coffees on a Tuesday
Price of a heart in delay
Found it in the pocket
Hidden like a locket
[Pre-Chorus]
Windows fogged at the corner
Feeling like a lonely mourner
Drafts I never dared to send
Wondering how the story should end
[Chorus]
It's just a piece of paper
Turning into ghost vapor
Washed out in the blue light
Keeping me awake tonight
What if we stayed for one more?
Before you walked out the door
[Post-Chorus]
Stayed for one more
Out the door
Ink on my hands
Changing our plans
[Verse]
Check the date, it's blurred
Every single whispered word
Lost in the static I heard
(Yeah, I heard it all)
Bodega lights flickering red
Echoing things that we said
The rain is hitting the glass
Watching the memories pass
[Hook]
Slow burn in the dark
Faded little spark
Slow burn in the dark
Faded little spark
[Bridge]
I still got the draft saved
Path that we never paved
Maybe it was just a phase
Lost in a violet haze
Finger on the send key
But you're not there for me
[Breakdown]
Sub-bass hitting my chest
Giving the ghost a rest
Baritone strings in my ear
Wishing that you were near
[Chorus]
It's just a piece of paper
Turning into ghost vapor
Washed out in the blue light
Keeping me awake tonight
What if we stayed for one more?
Before you walked out the door
[Interlude]
[Verse]
Thermal paper turning black
No way to take it back
Crumpled edges in my palm
Before the storm, after the calm
(I'm just overthinking)
(Yeah, I'm slowly sinking)
[Outro]
