Ten Year Ticket

[Intro]
[Verse]
Sunlight hits the floor
Dust clouds by the door
Moving boxes in a row
I should probably let go
But this shelf is still full
Of things that have a pull
[Pre-Chorus]
I reach behind a book
Give a second look
Something small and blue
Hidden there by you
[Chorus]
It’s just a ticket stub
From that crowded club
Ten years ago tonight
Underneath the stage light
I’m not crying now
Just thankful somehow
That we had that day
Before you went away
[Verse]
The ink is getting thin
Where the rain got in
We stood in the back
Near the speaker stack
You spilled your paper cup
I helped you clean it up
We didn't know back then
We'd never meet again
[Pre-Chorus]
I reach behind a book
Give a second look
Something small and blue
Hidden there by you
[Chorus]
It’s just a ticket stub
From that crowded club
Ten years ago tonight
Underneath the stage light
I’m not crying now
Just thankful somehow
That we had that day
Before you went away
[Bridge]
I huff a little laugh
Folding it in half
The cello starts to moan
I'm here all alone
But it feels quite warm
Like a quiet storm
[Verse]
I’ll put it in my coat
Like a secret note
The apartment is bare
But I feel you there
In the creases of the page
And the memories of that stage
You left a lot behind
For my heart to find
[Chorus]
It’s just a ticket stub
From that crowded club
Ten years ago tonight
Underneath the stage light
I’m not crying now
Just thankful somehow
That we had that day
Before you went away
[Post-Chorus]
Just a little piece of blue
That reminds me of you
Just a little piece of then
In my hand again
[Outro]
