Twenty-One Always

Lyrics

[Verse 1] I still set two plates down Then catch myself halfway Your chair stays by the table Like you just stepped away I touch your name on my phone Like it might call me back But the screen stays cold And the room stays black [Pre-Chorus] They say time keeps moving But it moves too slow I keep hearing your laugh In places you won't go And I hate this silence I hate what it knows [Chorus] You are twenty-one forever Twenty-one forever No one gets to take that No one takes that from you You are twenty-one forever Twenty-one forever In every broken morning I still carry you [Verse 2] Your hoodie's on the hook Your keys are in the bowl Your favorite chipped blue mug Still sitting by the sinkhole I fold back all your blankets Like you'll walk in soon And I leave the hall light on For the shape of you [Pre-Chorus] I keep telling heaven To hold you near If love could build a wall I'd keep you here I know I can't But I still can't bear [Chorus] You are twenty-one forever Twenty-one forever No one gets to take that No one takes that from you You are twenty-one forever Twenty-one forever In every broken morning I still carry you [Bridge] If I speak your name Will you hear me there? If I cry your name Do you feel that air? I miss your mess I miss your grin I miss the way You'd rush right in And if this heart Could have its way I'd give you back One more day [Chorus] You are twenty-one forever Twenty-one forever No one gets to take that No one takes that from you You are twenty-one forever Twenty-one forever In every broken morning I still carry you [Outro] I still carry you Twenty-one forever I still carry you
