Coffee’s gone cold
Sleeve stained
Bus late
Crosswalk blinking red again
Breath like little ghosts in the gray
You’re three texts back
All left on read
Taxi sprays my shoes and cuffs
Guess I earned that too
It’s just rain on 5th Street
But it feels like you leaving
Every car that passes
Sounds like you breathing
Yeah it’s one more weekday
But it cuts me so deep
Standing at the corner
Drowning on 5th Street
Billboard smiles wide
My face in the glass
Same old jacket
Frayed at the cuffs
Kept it since that first spring
You’d steal my hat
Spin under lights
Now the only spin I get
Is the world when your name hits my phone
It’s just rain on 5th Street
But it feels like you leaving
Every car that passes
Sounds like you breathing
Yeah it’s one more weekday
But it cuts me so deep
Standing at the corner
Drowning on 5th Street
Maybe you’re uptown
Laughing through the storm
Maybe you forgot
How my hands got warm
Every time you crossed
Right here at my side
Now it’s me
One light
And a too-bright “walk” sign
It’s just rain on 5th Street
But it feels like you leaving
Every car that passes
Sounds like you breathing
Yeah it’s one more weekday
But it cuts me so deep
Standing at the corner
Drowning on 5th Street
Just rain on 5th Street
And you’re gone too deep
