“Out of reach, still yours”
you text like you’re still in my room
like mileage just melts off the map
like time don’t apply to you
you say you’re “just someone out of town”
but you still finish my thoughts
know the tilt in every typo
every pause a little flashback
And it’s strange how I hear your voice in every crowd
like my heart never signed the papers, never backed down
like it’s caught on every promise that you left
can’t reset
We’re out of reach, still yours
pretending that we’re past it
every “how have you been?”
another piece we’re dropping
we hug like we’re strangers
but we hold on too long
like our bodies remember
what our mouths call gone
yeah we’re out of reach, still yours
still yours, still yours
We don’t talk like we used to
we just orbit what we mean
trade updates about our new lives
skip the parts where we can’t sleep
you laugh like you’re alright now
I lie, say that I am too
then you ask about my mother
like you always used to do
And it’s strange how your name still lives in my phone
like a house I keep the keys to but don’t go
every photo is a doorway I don’t pass
scared to ask
We’re out of reach, still yours
pretending that we’re past it
every “how have you been?”
another piece we’re dropping
we hug like we’re strangers
but we hold on too long
like our bodies remember
what our mouths call gone
yeah we’re out of reach, still yours
still yours, still yours
Maybe this is all we get now
half-truths on a cracked screen
your “miss you” typed then backspaced
mine buried where you can’t see
if we’re only ghosting hallways
of the life we almost had
tell me why it feels like always
every time you text me back
We’re out of reach, still yours
acting like we chose this
every “how have you been?”
another cut we don’t fix
we hug like we’re strangers
but we hold on too long
like our bodies remember
what our mouths call gone
yeah we’re out of reach, still yours
still yours, still yours
