Fading Reverie

Shared a backpack

Split a busted phone Passed the same small towns

On the way back home

You took the window

I took the aisle

Counted every mile

In worn-out smiles

Same old road

Same old shoes

Same bad jokes

Same old blues When the sky turns heavy

And the map feels wrong We just walk this long

Tough common road And somehow we go on

Argued over nothing

In a parking lot

You swore you’d leave

I swore you would not

Sat on the curb Till the coffee got cold Two stubborn kids

Trying to act grown

Same old road

Same old shoes

Same bad jokes

Same old blues When the sky turns heavy

And the map feels wrong

We just walk this long

Tough common road And somehow we go on

We’ve been broke

Been

bitter Been lost

Been late Still saving each other

A paper plate

From crowded tables

Where we don’t quite fit

You nudge my shoulder

Say

We’re built for this Same old road

Same old shoes

Same bad jokes

Same old blues When the sky turns heavy

And the map feels wrong

We just walk this long

Tough common road And somehow we go on
