Mmm… yeah
Turn it up

Found your note between the bills folded twice
Three crooked letters never said it nice
Kitchen radio is drifting off-time
Wrong station playing but it suits the night

I dial your number — hear a click then air
Flashing digits on the stove just stare
Every heartbeat in my chest misaligns
Still I’m listening for a sign

There’s static on the line but I still hear you fine
In broken little sparks we talk like power lines
If silence is a sign then prove me wrong tonight
Tune me in or cut me loose — there’s static on the line

City bus sighs at a midnight stop
Paperback angel at a corner shop
Borrowed coat hangs wide on my frame
Pockets full of change and a half-drawn name

Counting rail ties stepping over goodbyes
Copper on my tongue from unspoken replies
I hold my breath as if it might realign
What keeps crossing in my mind

There’s static on the line but I still hear you fine
In broken little sparks we talk like power lines
If silence is a sign then prove me wrong tonight
Tune me in or cut me loose — there’s static on the line

Maybe I’m a bent antenna in a storm I knew
Turn me just a single degree — I point back to you
If the signal fades and the bars go blind
Call me by the name you underlined

Line… line… static on the line
(Keep talking)
Line… line… static on the line

There’s static on the line but I still hear you fine
In broken little sparks we talk like power lines
If silence is a sign then prove me wrong tonight
Tune me in or cut me loose — there’s static on the line

Mmm… tune me in
Static on the line

Where do the rivers hide…
When the night divides?

I walk through the frames of a broken day
Colors dissolve but they point the way
Every shadow is a map I keep
Leading me back through the endless deep

I can feel it close and near
A fading sign but it’s still clear

I’m lost in the traces drawn to the sound
I fall but the silence won’t keep me down
I’m lost in the traces finding the flame
Through ruins and whispers I call your name

The walls collapse but the ground still holds
Fragments of light in the dark unfold
Every distance is a thread to tie
Every horizon becomes the sky

I can feel it close and near
A fading sign but it’s still clear

I’m lost in the traces drawn to the sound
I fall but the silence won’t keep me down
I’m lost in the traces finding the flame
Through ruins and whispers I call your name

Shadows move but I remain
Through the traces of your name

I’m lost in the traces drawn to the sound
I fall but the silence won’t keep me down
I’m lost in the traces finding the flame
Through ruins and whispers I call your name

Where do the rivers hide…
When the night divides?

You showed up like a spark in an easy day
Didn’t plan on anything but you changed my way

Your laugh hits warm and it stays around
Pulls me out when I sink too far down
Every little moment feels brand new
But the best ones happen next to you

I’ve been running steady trying to find my part
Didn’t see it clearly till you reached my heart

Everything feels better with you
Sunrise colors turn a brighter hue
I don’t need a map or a clue
I just follow where you move
Everything feels better with you
Like the whole world finally came through
I don’t chase a thing when it’s true
’Cause it’s better better with you

We walk slow talking ’bout nothing much
Still it feels big when our hands touch
You pull me higher than I planned to climb
But I’m glad you pushed me this time

I’ve been running steady trying to find my part
Didn’t see it clearly till you reached my heart

Everything feels better with you
Sunrise colors turn a brighter hue
I don’t need a map or a clue
I just follow where you move
Everything feels better with you
Like the whole world finally came through
I don’t chase a thing when it’s true
’Cause it’s better better with you

If the road gets heavy someday
Stay with me and we’ll find our way
I don’t ask for more than this
Just your calm and your quiet bliss

Everything feels better with you
Yeah it’s better better with you

We ran out into the static rain
Laughin’ like the world was ours to claim
No plans no past no shame
Only your hand and my name

(You said) “Hold tight don’t blink now”
We were fire in a glass town

Time cracked under neon signs
We carved our names in exit lines
If it ends don’t rewind —
Just play it loud one more time

Gravity was just a sound
When you spun me upside down

Let the silence fill the page
We were perfect in that frame

Woke up in a sentence I don’t remember writing
(uhhh)
My name’s on the wall
but it’s spelled with a “Y” now
weird

I tried to fold the sunlight into thirds
but it keeps leaking through the creases
Like—
was that ever the point?
(Hey!)
Did we name the silence just to fill it?

A blue cup a red sock a key with no lock
Mom said dreams don’t rot
but I found mold on the corners of mine
(yeah uh-huh)

What’s it made of?
(Lie?)
What’s it made oooooof?
Is this glass or just slow ice?
(what’s the—yeah)
If I bite it will it crack or cry?
(Haha—cry?)
I asked the mirror but she blinked
Twice

My coat is full of exit signs
but none of them point north
I sleep in the hallway between thoughts—
and that’s fine
Or it was
(Was it?)

Someone keeps leaving me notes
in a handwriting I don't remember learning
“Simplify”
“Unwind”
“Don't trust the tulips”

What’s it made of?!
(don’t tell me it’s hope again)
What’s it maaaade of?!
If it’s love why’s it shaped like a chair leg?
If it’s truth
why does it taste like batteries?

Whoa whoa—
Don’t go there
Not now
(NOT NOW!)

Thoughts collide as I reflect
Searching for what I can't connect
Every chord brings back your smile
But it's just an empty aisle

Time keeps moving yet I'm here
Holding on to what was dear
Words unspoken cloud my view
Moments lost but still feel you

Hey can you hear me?
I'm lost in the sound
Gripping tight can't let go
Of the warmth of you
Will I find my way through?

Every twist brings back your name
Searching for a spark to reclaim
But I breathe I choose to dance
Finding strength in every chance

Letting go of what we've known
Building paths where love has grown
Every heartbeat every sound
New stories waiting to be found

Hey can you hear me?
I'm lost in the sound
Gripping tight can't let go
Of the warmth of you
Will I find my way through?

Yeah
Almost beautiful

You left your shadow
On the passenger side
Like a quiet ending
At a red street light

I kept the moment
But I lost the weight
Of waiting for something
That was already late

Now days feel lighter
When the hope runs out
I hear my own voice
A little less loud

And I don’t hate you
That takes too much room
I just stopped turning
The sky into you

Maybe we were young
Maybe we were tired
Maybe love got lost
Somewhere in the wires

I don’t need a reason
I don’t need a sign
I just need tonight
To feel like mine

It was almost beautiful
Almost good enough
Almost like a movie
Almost like love

We were almost honest
Almost made it through
Almost had forever
Then forever moved

And I’m not broken
I’m just new
It was almost beautiful
Losing you

Oh-oh
Almost beautiful
Oh-oh
Almost beautiful

I saw your name
On a screen last night
It didn’t hurt me
Like I thought it might

Just a small old feeling
Passing through
Like a song from a car
That never stops for you

I walked for hours
Under changing signs
No big confession
No perfect line

Just a quiet freedom
I never planned
Like letting go
Without using my hands

Maybe we were close
Maybe we were blind
Maybe love looks better
From the other side

I don’t need an answer
I don’t need a fight
I just need my heart
To sleep tonight

It was almost beautiful
Almost good enough
Almost like a movie
Almost like love

We were almost honest
Almost made it through
Almost had forever
Then forever moved

And I’m not broken
I’m just new
It was almost beautiful
Losing you

I won’t call it wasted
I won’t call it wrong
Some people are chapters
That read too long

I won’t make you guilty
I won’t make me small
We were almost something
And that’s something after all

Almost beautiful
Almost true
Almost everything
I wanted with you

Almost beautiful
Almost gone
I can still remember
But I can move on

It was almost beautiful
Almost good enough
Almost like a movie
Almost like love

We were almost honest
Almost made it through
Almost had forever
Then forever moved

And I’m not broken
I’m just new
It was almost beautiful
Losing you

Oh-oh
Almost beautiful
Oh-oh
Almost beautiful

Mm
Almost beautiful
Losing you

Your walls are gonna cry
They know it better than I do
I'm still scared to die
When I'm dancing without you

Maybe it's all in my head
Maybe I'll get out of bed
If you call
And I'll go dancing through my kitchen like it's a stage

And if you call
I'll go dancing through my kitchen like it's a stage
And if you call
I'll go dancing through my kitchen like it's a stage
And if you call
I'll go dancing through my kitchen like it's a stage
And if you call
I'll go dancing through my kitchen like it's a stage

And I know it's only temporary
But it's not in the way
It's not in the way that you want it
So we won't talk about it
We don't talk about it

And I know it's only temporary
But it's not in the way
It's not in the way that you want it
So we won't talk about it
We don't talk about it

Maybe it's all in my head
Maybe I'll get out of bed
If you call
And I'll go dancing through my kitchen like it's a stage

And if you call
I'll go dancing through my kitchen like it's a stage
And if you call
I'll go dancing through my kitchen like it's a stage
And if you call
I'll go dancing through my kitchen like it's a stage
And if you call
I'll go dancing through my kitchen like it's a stage

You sent a message
Then took it back
I saw enough there
Between each gap

No big confession
No perfect scene
Just two people
Out of routine

I kept my answer
Short and kind
Left all the reasons
Out of my mind

You wanted closure
Clean and small
I gave you nothing
You could call

I used to replay
Every little word
Now I let it pass
Unrehearsed

I used to bend
Just to make us fit
Now I stand straight
And live with it

I’m better without proof
Better without blame
Better without you
Saying my name

I don’t need the last word
I don’t need the truth
I got myself back
Better without proof

Better better
Better without proof
Better better
Better without you

You still look polished
From far away
Like all the damage
Had a clean face

I don’t feel bitter
I don’t feel small
I just feel ready
To want more

Some days are easy
Some days are not
But I don’t bargain
With what I lost

You had your version
I had mine too
Both can be real
And still be through

I used to replay
Every little word
Now I let it pass
Unrehearsed

I used to bend
Just to make us fit
Now I stand straight
And live with it

I’m better without proof
Better without blame
Better without you
Saying my name

I don’t need the last word
I don’t need the truth
I got myself back
Better without proof

Better better
Better without proof
Better better
Better without you

No more checking
If you regret it
No more waiting
For some clean edit

I don’t carry
What we ruined
I just keep moving
Like I’m used to it

You can keep
Your side of pain
I can keep
My new last name

I’m better without proof
Better without blame
Better without you
Saying my name

I don’t need the last word
I don’t need the truth
I got myself back
Better without proof

Better better
Better without proof
Better better
Better without you

I’m better without proof
Better without blame
Better without you
Saying my name

Mm
I don’t need proof now
I just know
