The Sharpie Fade

[Intro]
[Verse]
Found it in the lining
Of that wool coat I’m resigning
Plastic cracked and silver shining
Twenty years of slow refining
Hidden in a pocket deep
Where the dusty secrets sleep
Promises we couldn't keep
While the winter shadows creep
[Pre-Chorus]
Your Sharpie script is blurred
Every single messy word
A voice I haven't heard
The ghost of things occurred
[Chorus]
It’s a low-fi kind of ache
For every small mistake
The promises we’d break
For a summer’s sake
Now the kitchen light is dim
And the coffee’s at the brim
I’m listening to him
On a phantom limb
[Verse]
Track four was that indie band
We saw in a basement land
You held a beer in hand
Life was never planned
That joke about the rain
To hide away the pain
It’s running through my vein
Like a heavy train
[Pre-Chorus]
The ink is turning grey
Like a cold and winter day
Nothing left to say
But I’m listening anyway
[Chorus]
It’s a low-fi kind of ache
For every small mistake
The promises we’d break
For a summer’s sake
Now the kitchen light is dim
And the coffee’s at the brim
I’m listening to him
On a phantom limb
[Bridge]
I never said I’m sorry then
Writing with a leaking pen
Again and then again
In our little city den
Now the walls are painted white
In the middle of the night
Everything is quite alright
In this fading light
[Verse]
I drive the kids to school
By the golden rule
But I still feel like a fool
In this quiet pool
Of a life we didn't choose
Win or maybe lose
Walking in these shoes
With the morning blues
[Chorus]
It’s a low-fi kind of ache
For every small mistake
The promises we’d break
For a summer’s sake
Now the kitchen light is dim
And the coffee’s at the brim
I’m listening to him
On a phantom limb
[Outro]
