You fell asleep
In my old sweater
Coffee on the nightstand
Sun crawling up the blinds
Your tangled hair
Halo on my pillow
Dust in the air
Spinning slow in morning light
You’re my velvet in the rearview
Getting smaller as the world moves
But I still see you
Still see you
Blurring every line I drove through
You’re a soft fade on a bright screen
You’re the echo in a half-dream
I still see you
Still see you
Even when the road cuts clean
We missed our stop
Laughing through the station
Names of places sliding
Right past the window glass
Your hand in mine
Sticky from the peaches
We shared on the platform
Summer pressed in every breath
You’re my velvet in the rearview
Getting smaller as the world moves
But I still see you
Still see you
Blurring every line I drove through
You’re a soft fade on a bright screen
You’re the echo in a half-dream
I still see you
Still see you
Even when the road cuts clean
If I close my eyes
You’re walking toward me
Slow
All the miles unwind
Falling back into your clothes
Name me
Claim me
In that never-ending glow
You’re my velvet in the rearview
Getting smaller as the world moves
But I still see you
Still see you
Blurring every line I drove through
You’re a soft fade on a bright screen
You’re the echo in a half-dream
I still see you
Still see you
Even when the road cuts clean
