Still you

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
