We met by the corner store Orange on your sleeve You said “you good?” I said “yeah, kinda” Then we laughed too long While the bus pulled past Your text came in Right when I got home Three dots, then nothing Still left my screen on I kept your name In the same old spot Now the night feels slow When you go quiet My thumb on the glass Like I might still find it A little more of you A little less of me Text me back, text me back Don’t let it fade like that We were bright for a minute Now it’s soft in my hands Text me back, text me back Say my name like you meant that We were young in the summer And I still feel that We walked the river path Shoes getting dust on them Your laugh in my ear Then the crowd took you We stayed half-close Like that was enough I saw you last week Across the crosswalk light You looked through me Then you smiled too quick Now I replay That one small look And I don’t wanna chase Just wanna feel close Even if it’s brief I keep what you wrote A little more of you A little less of me Text me back, text me back Don’t let it fade like that We were bright for a minute Now it’s soft in my hands Text me back, text me back Say my name like you meant that We were young in the summer And I still feel that Maybe this is all Just a passing thing Still your voice stays Like a song I know If you come around I’ll act cool again But my heart says What my mouth won’t say Text me back, text me back Don’t let it fade like that We were bright for a minute Now it’s soft in my hands Text me back, text me back Say my name like you meant that We were young in the summer And I still feel that
