I Still Call Your Name

Intro

oh-oh, yeah, uh-huh

(hey)

Verse

You kept the sweater with the tiny tear, (mhm)

I kept every laugh like it was mine to share

We learned the map of streets and small cafes,

Sat on the roof and counted passing days

You left your mug, I left the light on late

I played our song until the record skipped the place

I still remember how you said my name

Soft and dangerous, like a storm I couldn't tame

Pre-chorus

I tried to build a new life on the outline

But every turning door still looks like your sign (yeah)

I don't want to hold you back, I just can’t hide

The way the memory pulls me to your side

Chorus

I still call your name, I still call your name

I still call your name, I still call your name (oh)

Say it back, say it back, say it back to me (say it back)

I still call your name, I still call your name

Verse

We learned to fight in colors and in code, (uh)

Left small apologies on my bedroom floor

You wanted freedom, I wanted both of us

So I learned how to live with a little less of us

Sometimes I'm brave enough to meet someone new

Sometimes the shadows of what we were crawl through

I keep your jokes and your terrible puns

Keep your bravery, keep your running sun

Pre-chorus

I make a coffee cup, I make a mess of plans

I trace the old route with my fingertips and hands

I don't want to drag you back into this frame

But if you call my name, I'll answer all the same

Chorus

I still call your name, I still call your name

I still call your name, I still call your name (oh-oh)

Say it back, say it back, say it back to me (let it be)

I still call your name, I still call your name

Bridge

Maybe we're chapters that belong to different books (yeah)

Maybe we're pictures in two separate frames

But when the night leans soft, and the quiet looks like you

I sing the line we left, I whisper it aloud (whoa)

I still call your name, I still call your name

Chorus

I still call your name, I still call your name

I still call your name, I still call your name (na-na)

Say it back, say it back, say it back to me (say it back)

I still call your name, I still call your name

Outro

(oh-oh) I still call your name... (yeah)
