The Vows (feat. Diane)
- May 28
- 2 min read
I saw you standing by the bar
Same crooked smile, same suit and tie
Talking like your heart was light
Like mine wasn't breaking nearby
Everybody here looks beautiful
Bathed in candle gold
And somehow you still feel familiar
Even after all this cold
Hard to sit this close to you
And feel this far away tonight
The vows sounded like you
The flowers looked like June
The snow soft fell like something
We were supposed to dance to
Now I'm watching from the corner
While somebody else says I do
And wondering if your chest hurts
The same way mine does too
The bride cried halfway through her speech
And everybody laughed so softly
You looked down at your drink for a while
Like maybe you went somewhere else too
I still remember conversations
About the life we'd have
You said someday in a white suit
You'd never stop choosing me back then
Now we can barely hold eye contact
Long enough not to look away
The vows sounded like you
The flowers looked like June
The snow soft fell like something
We were supposed to dance to
Now I'm watching from the corner
While somebody else says I do
And wondering if your chest hurts
The same way mine does too
Maybe love doesn't disappear
Maybe it just changes rooms
Maybe that's why tonight feels too small
To hold the truth
'Cause every little detail here
Keeps pulling me toward you
And I swear for one second
It felt like you felt it too
The vows sounded like you
The flowers looked like June
Your eyes across the table
Still undo me like they do
[full band enters]
And while everybody's cheering
To a love that made it through
I keep mourning the future
I once imagined with you
Now somebody else is dancing
In the life we almost knew
And wondering if your chest hurts
The same way mine does too
