lyrics

At the coffee stand by Hamra, I said it like you

“Yalla” slipped off my tongue, and the whole table knew

My brother laughed, tapped the cup with a gold-ringed hand

I turned red in the mirror by the bus stop stand

Your word sat on my teeth like mint in a pack

I caught it in the elevator when I looked back

Sixth floor, metal doors, my phone in my palm

One borrowed little word and it broke my calm

Now it shows up fast

In my mouth, in my head

I hear your exact tone

Before I even speak it

I didn’t mean to keep it

But it keeps me instead

Borrowed your word

Borrowed your word

Borrowed your word

Borrowed your word

On Bliss Street, I ordered tea with your same pace

Even the cashier paused and stared at my face

My cousin said, “Bro, that sounds just like her”

I tried to change it back, but the vowel still blurred

At the red light near the port, I gripped the wheel tight

Your phrase came out clean in the middle of the night

Now every time I reach for a simple reply

Your word comes first, and I don’t know why

Borrowed your word

Borrowed your word

Borrowed your word

Borrowed your word

I heard it in my own room, off the peeling wall

From a mouth that used to fight you, now it calls

Not a joke, not a game, just a small little theft

A word in my pocket that you already left

Borrowed your word

Borrowed your word

Borrowed your word

Borrowed your word
