Borrowed Tuesday

Lyrics

[Verse 1] In the mirror town You still know my name Same cracked red mailbox Different weather vane Your porch light flickers Like it missed my hands I swear I lived here In some other land [Pre-Chorus] We laughed the same way At the same old joke But your eyes held moonlight I had never known The dog on the corner Ran up to my feet Like it remembered A version of me [Chorus] Borrowed Tuesday I knew your face Borrowed Tuesday In a different place We were almost us We were almost there Borrowed Tuesday Staying in the air [Verse 2] Your bike by the gate Still had my old dent The same blue ribbon On the fence you bent Mama’s green dishes In a smaller room And the radio singing Some half-forgotten tune [Pre-Chorus] You said, “Don’t leave yet” Like you’d said before And the whole world leaned in To open that door I touched your sleeve And the moment split Like a paper star That wouldn’t quit [Chorus] Borrowed Tuesday I knew your face Borrowed Tuesday In a different place We were almost us We were almost there Borrowed Tuesday Staying in the air [Bridge] If I cross back over Will you still be near? Or just a soft echo I can’t keep clear Still I hold that hour Like a match in rain A little other life Calling my name [Final Chorus] Borrowed Tuesday I knew your face Borrowed Tuesday In a different place We were almost us We were almost there Borrowed Tuesday Staying in the air Borrowed Tuesday Don’t disappear
