Falling Through Velvet

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
