Drove to the terminal
To drop you off
You held me for a while
I was happy about that
Spent my day in a haze
When arriving home
There’s tricks in the air
That say you’re still ‘round
It felt so strange
It came by surprise
That you’d be the one
Keeping my ties
Throughout my day
It crept up so slow
That I would feel this way
Later that night
I went for a drive
You started to sink
Into my mind
As I went for a walk
Down by the skatepark
Somehow I missed you
Creep into my heart
February froze
Ones fast in their holds
Away from the cold
And the parking lot I walk through
Is empty in solace
Save one car, with kissing lovers
It felt so strange
It came by surprise
That you’d be the one
Keeping my ties
Throughout my day
It crept up so slow
That I would feel this way
You’re somewhere over
The Atlantic now
I knew that I’d miss you
Surprised in the way how
While your memory
Floats among the things
You left in my place
It felt so strange
It came by surprise
That you’d be the one
Keeping my ties
Throughout my day
It crept up so slow
That I would feel this way
Back in my abode
The lights are down low
Fatigue aglow
You fly into home
