I Hope You Know

Songtext

[Verse 1] I found your postcard in a winter coat The corner bent, the ink had faded blue A little town, a date I barely know And every road still pointed back to you [Pre-Chorus] I kept the room the way you left it Dust on the frame, a key beside the door I told myself I had forgotten Then your name came back like before [Chorus] It's been so long, but I still turn around When a familiar laugh gets lost in the crowd I let the years move on, I let the old days go But some part of me still wants you to know It's been so long And I miss you more than I show [Verse 2] The corner shop has changed its painted sign The bus arrives ten minutes late these days I pass the bench where we once killed the time And hear your voice inside the ordinary haze [Pre-Chorus] I learned to carry all the silence I learned to sleep with half the window closed But every spring, the door swings open For the ghost of what we almost chose [Chorus] It's been so long, but I still turn around When a familiar laugh gets lost in the crowd I let the years move on, I let the old days go But some part of me still wants you to know It's been so long And I miss you more than I show [Bridge] If you ever find this little postcard If you ever wonder where I've been I don't need to borrow back the ending I just hope you're doing well again [Final Chorus] It's been so long, but I still turn around Not because I'm lost, just because you're around In the quiet parts of every place I go In the words I never found the nerve to show It's been so long But I finally let you go It's been so long And I hope you know [Outro] I hope you know
