Seventeen Years

[Verse 1]
Seventeen years
Passed like a lifetime
Your name still fits
In the back of my mind

Old letters bend
At the kitchen edge
I know that look
It’s been there before

[Pre-Chorus]
We changed our coats
We changed our roads
Still when you laugh
It hits the same

[Chorus]
Seventeen years
Yet some connect
Seventeen years
And I still get
That pull, that spark
Right to the chest
Seventeen years
Yet some connect

[Verse 2]
Now you call late
From a borrowed room
Same crooked grin
Same half-spoken truth

I learned your silence
Like I learned my own
Some things don’t leave
They just grow bones

[Pre-Chorus]
We lost the map
We kept the thread
One small hello
And here we are

[Chorus]
Seventeen years
Yet some connect
Seventeen years
And I still get
That pull, that spark
Right to the chest
Seventeen years
Yet some connect

[Bridge]
Not every door
Stays open wide
But yours still swings
When I walk by

No grand parade
Just two old flames
Still saying hey
By different names

[Chorus]
Seventeen years
Yet some connect
Seventeen years
And I still get
That pull, that spark
Right to the chest
Seventeen years
Yet some connect
