Daylight Replay

Daylight Replay
Daylight Replay

Bus window shaking through the morning
Saved voicemail sitting on my phone
I don't play it, still I hear you
Every time the engine slows
Woman three rows back starts laughing
For one second it's your sound
I turn before I can stop myself
Then remember you're not around

Daylight Replay, you arrive without a warning
Daylight Replay, in the middle of the morning
Daylight Replay, in the middle of the morning
Missing you is different from needing you back
Daylight Replay, I can live with that

I pass the stop beside your old place
Do not pull the cord this time
The urge still comes, then keeps on moving
Like the buildings down the line
I finally play the saved message
It is smaller than it lived in me
Just your tired voice saying take care
Not a door, not destiny

A memory can prove it mattered
Without telling me to return
Missing you is different from needing you back
That voicemail saved but never played finally had its turn

Daylight Replay, sun across the seat
Daylight Replay, getting softer every street
Missing you is different from needing you back
Daylight Replay, I know that now
