we watched the sun as the earth turned away
laughed about the movie we watched yesterday
⸻
VERSE 1
a silent opening near that old town
i still see your face there, even when you’re not around
long talks in the evening, taking pictures by the sea
nobody else to see us, only you and me
the tide washes out and the seasons change
i’ll never forget the days before our youth slipped away
⸻
CHORUS
i still look for you in every place i go
like a part of me can’t learn to let it go
we still share a life, but it doesn’t feel the same
i still save you a seat, it’ll always be yours
⸻
VERSE 2
when i’m waiting at our old bus stop
i look up and expect to see you there
i’ll text you, complain about how busy it is
move my bag off my seat for someone else to sit
i used to hate the ride home until it became ours
we’d plan for summer like it wasn’t so far
now i save the dates for when you’re back in town
funny how a crowded bus still feels empty without you around
⸻
CHORUS
i still look for you in every place i go
like a part of me can’t learn to let it go
we still share a life, but it doesn’t feel the same
i still save you a seat, it’ll always be yours
⸻
BRIDGE
long drives in the evening, one earbud each
people all around us, but it’s only you and me
the road blurs past the window and the seasons never stay
i’ll never forget the days before our youth slipped away
⸻
FINAL CHORUS (optional lift / repeat)
i still look for you in every place i go
like a part of me can’t learn to let it go
we still share a life, but it doesn’t feel the same
i still save you a seat, it’ll always be yours
