Mine for a Minute

Intro

(oh-oh, oh-oh)

Verse

You left your jacket on my chair last fall

Keys still hanging by the door

I keep pretending I don’t notice at all

But the quiet’s louder than before

Pre-chorus

We used to laugh until the streetlights came on

Now every song reminds me what went wrong

Chorus

You were mine for a minute, then gone in a blink

Said you’d stay through the winter, but you vanished like spring

I’m still here in the same old town

Singing your name when the lights go down

You were mine for a minute, minute, minute

Gone in a blink, blink, blink

Verse

Your sweater’s still folded on the shelf

I wear it when the nights get cold

Telling myself I’m doing just fine

While the truth keeps slipping through the holes

Pre-chorus

We used to dance in the kitchen at two a.m.

Now I’m dancing with the ghost of what we had

Chorus

You were mine for a minute, then gone in a blink

Said you’d stay through the winter, but you vanished like spring

I’m still here in the same old town

Singing your name when the lights go down

You were mine for a minute, minute, minute

Gone in a blink, blink, blink

Bridge

Maybe I’ll meet you in another life

Where promises don’t turn into goodbye

But right now I’m learning how to let it be

Even when every road leads back to you and me

Chorus

You were mine for a minute, then gone in a blink

Said you’d stay through the winter, but you vanished like spring

I’m still here in the same old town

Singing your name when the lights go down

You were mine for a minute, minute, minute

Gone in a blink, blink, blink

(oh-oh, oh-oh)

Outro

(blink, blink)

(oh-oh)
