Better When It's Us

Verse

Suitcase by the doorway, six a.m. light

Your coffee's going cold on the windowsill

Sugar packet folded like you always write

Little notes to say you love me still

Pre-Chorus

So why's my chest so easy

When the room feels so undone

Maybe endings ain't the ending

Maybe this is just day one

Chorus

It's better when it's us

Even when we're miles and miles apart

Two roads, one heartbeat, one map

It's better when it's us

Every sunrise finds its way right back

To the place where we start

Verse

Three years of the same porch, same two chairs

Now you're catching flights to a brand new town

But I keep your sweater on the banister there

Like a promise that won't come unwound

Pre-Chorus

So why's this goodbye singing

Like the first note of a song

Maybe leaving's just beginning

Something bigger, something long

Chorus

It's better when it's us

Even when we're miles and miles apart

Two roads, one heartbeat, one map

It's better when it's us

Every sunrise finds its way right back

To the place where we start

Bridge

Call me when the sky turns gold out there

I'll be watching mine turn gold right here

Different windows, same old moon somehow

Distance never owned us anyhow

Chorus

It's better when it's us

Even when we're miles and miles apart

Two roads, one heartbeat, one map

It's better when it's us

Every sunrise finds its way right back

To the place where we start

Right back to where we start
