Maybe Next Time

I watched your taillights flicker and dissolve into the rain

Like a slow motion picture of a heart becoming vain

We were a masterpiece of almost a bridge that didn't close

The beauty of the garden, but the dying of the rose

I'm standing in the kitchen where we used to share the light

And now I'm just an island in the middle of the night

We had the right devotion, but we had the wrong years

We built a house of laughter on a foundation of fears

And now I'm reaching for the version of you I used to hold

Before the fire flickered out and left us in the cold

So maybe next time, in a world that's not so loud

We'll find a way to keep our heads above the heavy cloud

Or maybe in a different skin, on a street we haven't crossed

We'll recover every forever, I thought we wouldn't last

But for now the sky is falling, and I'm out of rhythm and rhyme

So I'll save a place for you in the maybe next time

I saw your handwriting on a letter in a drawer

It's a language that I'm not allowed to speak anymore

I wonder if you're sleeping or if you're staring at the wall

Thinking about the way we ran before we learned to fall

It's the silence that's the loudest, it's the empty side of the bed

It's the ghost of every I love you that's better left unsaid

So maybe next time, in a world that's not so loud

We'll find a way to keep our heads above the heavy cloud

Or maybe in a different skin, on a street we haven't crossed

We'll recover every forever, I thought we wouldn't last

But for now the sky is falling, and I'm out of rhythm and rhyme

So I'll save a place for you in the maybe next time

Next time

Maybe we'll be older

Maybe the world will be a little less colder

I'll see you when you want it

I'll see you in the could've been

Until then, my love, until then
