lyrics

(instrumental, unhurried)

We sat on the hood until the engine went cold
You had something to say and you said something else
I did the same thing back and we called it a night
(called it a night)
Two people being brave about entirely nothing

There's a whole conversation (conversation)
Parked in that lot since 2019

Everything we nearly said
(nearly said)
Is still out there idling in the dark
Everything we nearly said
Someday one of us goes first

I drove past it last October with the windows down
The lot's a pharmacy now, which is somehow perfect
I said your name out loud to nobody at all
(to nobody at all)
And it sounded exactly like it used to

I could call you.
I have your number.
I have had your number for eleven years.

Everything we nearly said
(nearly said)
Is still out there idling in the dark
Everything we nearly said
Someday one of us goes first

(nearly said...)
