Julia

[Verse 1]
Julia
You still hum in my kitchen
Two mugs on the counter
Lipstick on one
Mine chipped on the other

Julia
Your sweater on my chair
Sleeves rolled
Forever waiting
For the arms that never wear it

[Chorus]
Julia
I still set one extra plate
Talk to the space where you used to wait
Every quiet corner says your name so clear
Julia
You’re gone
But it feels like you’re still here

[Verse 2]
Julia
Your note on the fridge
“back soon
Don’t burn the pasta”
Been reading it for months now

Julia
I drive the longer way home
Past the stop where you’d meet me
Staring down at your phone
Then up like sunrise

[Chorus]
Julia
I still set one extra plate
Talk to the space where you used to wait
Every quiet corner says your name so clear
Julia
You’re gone
But it feels like you’re still here

[Bridge]
Maybe you’re laughing in some new apartment
New plants on a brighter sill
I’m here learning how to be honest
That a part of me loves you still (oh Julia)

[Chorus]
Julia
I still set one extra plate
Talk to the space where you used to wait
Every quiet corner says your name so clear
Julia
You’re gone
Julia
My dear
You’re gone
But it feels
Like you’re still here
