Lyrics
June 28th
I text you balloons and cake
It's the first thing I do every year on this date
The same two emojis, I could copy paste
From the last three years I sent it, don't even have to scroll
Not that I was scrolling, I have some self control
But my thumb slipped and I
Was thrown back in time
Like hitting rewind
Watching our messages triple in size
And I wonder
How did we let things fade?
Was one moment to blame?
Still trying to trace
If there's anything I can undo or unsay
If I reach back through the haze
Can we fix this mistake, or is it too late?
Maybe next June 28th
A couple days later I'm still scrolling back
Unraveling memories left in the past
Replaying old videos of us at the dances
And every voice memo we sent between classes
Lyrics sent with lasers, duetting back and forth
It's still my turn in eight ball, the ball's in my court
Now to bridge this divide
But whenever I try
Hitting rewind
The silence between us grows louder each time
And I wonder
How did we let things fade?
Was one moment to blame?
Still trying to trace
If there's anything I can undo or unsay
If I reach back through the haze
Can we fix this mistake, or is it too late?
Maybe next June 28th
I'll break this radio silence
Blast our playlist and drive to your street
In my dreams I'd watch you throw open the front door
And race to the passenger seat
And we'd skip the hellos like there was no goodbye
Belting in harmony just like old times
And you'd look at me like nothing's changed
And you would be the one to say
How did we let things fade?
Was one moment to blame?
Still trying to trace
If there's anything I can undo or unsay
If I reach back through the haze
Can we fix this mistake, or is it too late?
Maybe next June 28th
November 22nd, it's starting out the same
I wake up to your message with balloons and cake
And I let my hopes fall
Until I get your call
