Lyrics

[Intro]
[Verse]
The kitchen light is dim and low
Watching shadows come and go
Pulled a box from the hall
Leaning up against the wall
Tape is peeling at the seam
Waking up a dusty dream
[Verse]
Found your old flannel shirt
Still a little bit of dirt
From that trail by the lake
Before the sun was wide awake
We were young and we were broke
Laughing through the campfire smoke
[Pre-Chorus]
I didn't think it would sting
Finding every little thing
Just a ghost in a crate
Left a little bit too late
[Chorus]
It wasn't love, just a life
Cutting through like a knife
Shared a room, shared the rent
Wondering where the summer went
Now the coffee’s getting cold
Telling stories never told
[Hook]
Just a friend, just a year
Why is it so quiet here?
[Verse]
Scuffed canteen, dented side
Nowhere left for us to hide
Burnt marshmallow on the prong
We were right and we were wrong
You took the city, I stayed here
Watching seasons disappear
[Chorus]
It wasn't love, just a life
Cutting through like a knife
Shared a room, shared the rent
Wondering where the summer went
Now the coffee’s getting cold
Telling stories never told
[Bridge]
I should have called you back then
Maybe we’d be boys again
But the phone is heavy now
Lost the why and lost the how
Just a box on the floor
I don't know you anymore
[Verse]
Funny how the small things stay
When the big ones fade away
Like the way you tuned your strings
And the songs that nobody sings
I'm just sitting on the floor
Wishing you’d walk through the door
[Chorus]
It wasn't love, just a life
Cutting through like a knife
Shared a room, shared the rent
Wondering where the summer went
Now the coffee’s getting cold
Telling stories never told
[Post-Chorus]
It was just a life
Cutting like a knife
Where did the summer go?
I guess I’ll never know
[Outro]
