Receipt for Sunshine (έκδοση 2)

Verse

Coffee stained receipt from a Tuesday sale

Your name scribbled twice before I lost my trail

Sixty dollars down on a promise not kept

Left it folded in the glovebox where you slept

Café window fogging up at four

You said 'I'll be back' through the glass door

Three years gone, still folding that same sheet

Checking every crease for what I forgot instead

Pre-Chorus

What do you keep when a feeling runs thin

Was it ever yours to begin with again

Tell me why goodbyes come folded like paper

Never flat, never the same

Chorus

I'm holding onto something that's not mine to keep

Just a receipt for sunshine I never had the chance to keep

Every day this summer I still check underneath

Receipt for sunshine, receipt for you and me

Verse 2

Now it's just a corner curl at the back of my drawer

Static from your lighter clicking against the floor

I stopped counting the weeks, started counting the days

When I finally worked up the courage to throw this away

Your handwriting fading soft like a Polaroid light

I'm holding onto the blur for something that's right

Maybe love was never an item I could buy or keep

Just the shape of your smile through the window, blurred and steep

Pre-Chorus

What do you keep when a feeling runs thin

Was it ever yours to begin with again

Tell me why goodbyes come folded like paper

Never flat, never the same

Chorus

I'm holding onto something that's not mine to keep

Just a receipt for sunshine I never had the chance to keep

Every day this summer I still check underneath

Receipt for sunshine, receipt for you and me

Bridge

Maybe it wasn't worth keeping
