Ten Years, One Hallway, Same Smile

Lyrics

Ten years since the summer we split on the stairs
Now you're at the doorway with the same wavy hair
I was getting coffee, you were reading the board
Neither of us ready for the way that time pours
Miami in my chest, but the hallway's cold
Funny how a face makes a whole year unfold
You said my name like the old way, slow
I said yours back and the rest didn't show

Ten years, one hallway, same smile
Ten years, and I'd walk another mile
Everything changed but the way you laugh
Ten years, one hallway, same smile

We sat on the steps like we used to sit
Shared a little silence, it was a perfect fit
You told me about the job, the move, the dog
I told you about the songs, and the studio fog
Both of us older, both of us the same
Still got that spark when we say each other's name
No big speech, no movie-scene music
Just two old friends who forgot how to lose it

Ten years, one hallway, same smile
Ten years, and I'd walk another mile
Everything changed but the way you laugh
Ten years, one hallway, same smile

Phone numbers swapped on a napkin, a pen
Said we'd do it right this time, not just pretend
Walked out in the evening with the streetlights low
Warm in the chest where the old feelings go
Maybe it's a start, maybe it's a sweet goodbye
Either way I'm grateful for the way you caught my eye
Ten years later, still know how to glow
Whatever comes next, I'm glad that I know

Late night heart, sunny side
Nothing left to prove, nothing left to hide
Say it slow, say it twice
Ten years, and it still feels nice

Ten years, one hallway, same smile
Ten years, and I'd walk another mile
Everything changed but the way you laugh
Ten years, one hallway, same smile

Same smile
Same smile
