Walked past our old flat now
Fire escape hung concrete
Late nights — who were we to be
You and city and me
First winter came — no heat
Make it through — you said
Shared one bed when the snow came
I still feel back then
Five years now — you crossed the whole wide state
Left your key — said you'd be fine — great
You found your own way
I stayed — same gray
Now the street don't know my face
Still you — are you well
Stuck on that same old shell
The room where our world fell to pieces
Is it strange that I still feel those walls
Still you — through all years
Same laugh through the tears
Race up stairs — still you — it's all the same
Still you — hope you gave it a good try
You were always the one who would leave first
I'm always the one who got hurt
Loved that you knew what you want
So I let you go
Watched your red taillight glow
Still you — you out there
Still your voice — your prayer
For a life that feels more than just Monday
Still you — walkin' old streets that you knew
Still you through the gray
You chased your dream — I stayed
Glad you ran — you taught me to feel strong
You're still you — now I know where to go
Light still on in the window I know
Hope you're still you — right there in that glow
