You placed your head here and began to snore
You found my shoulder as if it were a secret hideout
We used to always talk as friends do
Like open books cuddled up on the sofa
I felt like I knew the reason I was born
We parted ways, the way summer skin fades
We always said, “We’re like lovers”
But we just stared at the TV, unable to say goodbye
For some reason, it made me so happy
Seeing you use my things as if they were your own
It was like we became one as we melted away
We reached for love’s color as we passed it by
We stood at a standstill once we’d run out of paint,
As if marking the line between the sky and the sea
There’s a gentle weight on these shoulders
From the things you left behind
No doubt, together we locked this love away
So we could both cherish the memories
We parted ways, the way summer skin fades
We parted ways, the way summer skin fades
We reached for love’s color as we passed it by
We stood at a standstill once we’d run out of paint,
As if marking the line between the sky and the sea
