Call It a Daydream

[Verse 1]
Tried to make this moment
Fit a frame in my mind
Chased it through the hallway
Always one step behind

You were sipping your coffee
Talking circles
Half-smiled
Said
"It’s probably nothing"
But your eyes ran a mile

[Chorus]
Let’s call it a daydream
Something sweet we almost knew
Blame it on the heat
On the timing
On the sky being too damn blue
Let’s call it a daydream
So it doesn’t have to mean a thing
I’ll tuck you in the corner of my memory
As a half-forgotten
Almost-summer fling

[Verse 2]
You traced on the table
Little maps to escape
I laughed like it was casual
Felt my heartbeat misplace

Took the long way to your station
Just to buy one more sigh
Every joke
Every hesitation
Saying stay
Saying goodbye

[Chorus]
Let’s call it a daydream
Something sweet we almost knew
Blame it on the heat
On the timing
On the sky being too damn blue
Let’s call it a daydream
So it doesn’t have to mean a thing
I’ll tuck you in the corner of my memory
As a half-forgotten
Almost-summer fling

[Bridge]
Maybe in another year
We don’t talk in careful tones (yeah)
Maybe in another life
We don’t walk each other home alone
But for now
For now
For now I’ll just let it fade (fade)

[Chorus]
Let’s call it a daydream
Something sweet we almost knew
Blame it on the heat
On the timing
On the sky being too damn blue
Let’s call it a daydream
So it doesn’t have to break our hearts
We were perfect for a single shaky moment
Then we woke up and walked back to the dark
