[Verse 1]

I ran into him at the OnCue off May

Buyin' coffee late in the evening

He nodded once said he'd been good

Asked if I was still on the north side

I said yeah and he looked past me

Like he already knew the answer

Didn't take long to remember

How we always talked around things

[Verse 2]

I walked out before he did

Got in my car let the engine warm

He came out checkin' his phone

Never glanced my way

We were parked three feet apart

And still felt a mile wide

Made me think about us

How distance never needed miles

And I see it now

We were holdin' somethin'

That didn't have legs

[Chorus]

Didn't matter how tight

We tried to hang on

Love don't work

Just 'cause you want it to

We were fallin' slow

For a long damn time

I just see it clearer now

[Verse 3]

What we had was real enough

But real don't always mean right

Some things don't break they fade

And ours faded a while ago

And I see it now

We were holdin' somethin'

That didn't have legs

Didn't matter how tight

We tried to hang on

Love don't work

Just 'cause you want it to

We were fallin' slow

For a long damn time

I just see it clearer now

[Outro]

Didn't matter how tight

We tried to hang on

Love don't work

Just 'cause you want it to
