Lyrics [Verse 1 – Male] Twin cities, one river, you south, I northbound White coat on my shoulders, young doctor in town I had time for a dinner, not time for a game So, I took someone’s seat, wore another man’s name [Verse 1 – Female] I worked at the counter, learned silence and rules Family eyes watching, no room to choose Never allowed to meet a stranger’s face Never allowed to step out of place [Verse 2 – Male] Your mother read numbers before she read me Asked what I owned, not who I could be My car loan failed her imagined plan Lower middle class was the wrong kind of man [Verse 2 – Female] I walked down the stairs just to say hello She pulled me back like I already should know At your car I smiled, waved once, then went Not knowing how much that moment meant [Pre-Chorus – Male] I didn’t come begging, didn’t pretend I didn’t know that was the start, not the end One quiet goodbye, one look too long Something unspoken felt suddenly wrong [Chorus – Both] Behind her mother’s back, we learned to breathe Three times a week, just you and me [Female vocal] Sun on my shoulders, [Male vocal] light through your dress [Female vocal] You looked away—but you didn’t miss [Verse 3 – Male] Ten thousand to open, ten more to agree They priced out love like property A letter returned, the door shut fast My friend said, “Leave it in the past” [Verse 3 – Female] One early morning I called your name Said meet me somewhere free of blame Between rows of books and borrowed light I asked if this was worth the fight [Pre-Chorus – Female] I said, “I’ll face her, I’ll take the heat If there’s something real when we meet” [Chorus – Both] Behind her mother’s back, lines were crossed Friends watched close, counting the cost Hours flew by like we always knew What it felt like not to be alone [Bridge - Female] I fought her that night, lost my place Thrown out with nothing, no saving face No ID, no money, nowhere to go [Verse 4 - Male] I found you a room, I let you leave Said goodbye like I believed But every night (F) you came back slow back slow [Verse 4 – Female] I stayed at the edges of your life You held my hand, said, “Just tonight” [Final Chorus – Both] Behind her mother’s back, pretending broke I wanted forever, you felt the pull You were leaving, I stood still Then I kissed you—time stood still [Outro] [Female] I asked you to risk it, be my spouse You said yes, no counting out [Both] Twin cities faded, the past fell through That’s how our forever finally grew.
