My Dear Mim

Intro

oh-oh, soft like a secret, ah

(yeah)

Verse

You hum the old tune when morning finds you late

Your coffee steams in a chipped cup, you pretend it's fate

The pages of a book fold where your finger likes to stay

You trace the tiny scar on your thumb and smile away

You say my name like a small prayer, like a lucky coin

I keep it in my pocket, feel it when the world collides

Your laugh cracks open rooms I didn't know I owned

You build a map of little things and leave me at the door

Pre-chorus

And every sign reads your name, every doorway bends

I'm learning how the quiet speaks when you begin

(oh) I hold the memory like a song I can't forget

I call it out into the dark and hope it answers yet

Chorus

My dear Mim, my dear Mim, mi-mi-mim (my dear)

My dear Mim, my dear Mim, come back again (come back)

My dear Mim, my dear Mim, mi-mi-mim (oh-oh)

My dear Mim, my dear Mim, you know my heart's your friend

Verse

We left a trail of sticky notes and jokes in faded ink

You took the window seat and watched the coastlines blink

There was a late-night crowded street, your hand fit like a key

And every small goodbye turned softer when you stayed with me

Sometimes I find your scarf on the chair where light gets thin

I fold it like a letter, press my thumbs into the seam

The future is a shaky bridge, but you taught me how to step

One foot after the other, with your voice still in my head

Bridge

If distance is a river, I'll learn how tides obey

If silence keeps on building walls, I'll tear them down today

(yeah, yeah) I swear on crooked stars and promises we keep

I'll come around like morning does, I'll wake you from your sleep

My dear Mim, my dear Mim, I'm coming home again (coming home)

Chorus

My dear Mim, my dear Mim, mi-mi-mim (my dear)

My dear Mim, my dear Mim, come back again (come back)

My dear Mim, my dear Mim, mi-mi-mim (oh-oh)

My dear Mim, my dear Mim, you know my heart's your friend

My dear Mim, my dear Mim, mi-mi-mim (my dear)

My dear Mim, my dear Mim, come back again (come back)

My dear Mim, my dear Mim, mi-mi-mim (oh-oh)

My dear Mim, my dear Mim, you know my heart's your friend
