Bittersweet Siren

Verse

Pencils on the counter

Five a.m. light through the blinds

Cup still warm from what's been said

Empty page, your signature left behind

Pre-Chorus

Is this the end of our story or just the pause?

Do we rewrite or walk out of these lines?

Wait for dawn, wait for you to make up my mind

Chorus

Hold on, don't erase what's written here

Bittersweet siren calling me back every year

I still hear your voice in the silence and the space

Verse

Coffee stain on the counter where we drew our map

Your smile still etched into the steam that rose from your cup

Every morning I come back to this place alone

Hoping that somehow, somewhere you'll find your way home

Pre-Chorus

Is this the end of our story or just the pause?

Do we rewrite or walk out of these lines?

Wait for dawn, wait for you to make up my mind

Chorus

Hold on, don't erase what's written here

Bittersweet siren calling me back every year

I still hear your voice in the silence and the space

Bridge

Maybe I'm not waiting for a brand new page

Maybe I'm just waiting to turn back the same old page we wrote before

Your hand on mine, my heart still on fire

Same story, different coffee cup, different smoke and desire

Chorus

Hold on, don't erase what's written here

Bittersweet siren calling me back every year

I still hear your voice in the silence and the space
