We Both Came in on the Same Day 2 (Version 2)

Verse

You clocked in on a September morning

I showed up an hour later, same floor

The coffee machine was still humming

You were folding sweaters at the counter door

Four weeks turned into months and we found

Common ground in empty shelves and dust

We'd talk about everything except ourselves

Until the lights came back and it wasn't us

Pre-Chorus

Now the store is closing down again

And I'm holding onto this one thing —

A conversation that started with 'hello

In a place where we both lost our way

Chorus

We both came in on the same day, but

Different shifts and different light of gray

You clocked out first, I stayed behind

But I still remember how it felt to find

A friend in an empty retail floor

Where every hour was a door closing slow

I'm counting down till you walk back through that door

And we can pick up right where we left off before

Verse

You'd take my lunch break, I took yours

We traded stories 'round the coffee maker's hiss

We were just coworkers on a schedule and pay

But somehow it was more than that

It was a quiet understanding in a place where time slips away

Six months later you're moving to another town

I'm still ringing up coats, still wearing this same crown

You asked me why I stayed when the store said go

And I told you it wasn't just one thing — it was everything we'd found

Pre-Chorus

Now the store is closing down again

And I'm holding onto this one thing —

A conversation that started with 'hello

In a place where we both lost our way

Chorus

We both came in on the same day, but

Different shifts and different light of gray

You clocked out first, I stayed behind

But I still remember how it felt to find

A friend in an empty retail floor

Where every hour was a door closing slow

I'm counting down till you walk back through that door

And we can pick up right where we left off before

Bridge

Maybe this is just another ending

Maybe this time it's the real one

But I still hold onto what we had here

Because in all the wrong places sometimes you find someone

Chorus

We both came in on the same day, but

Different shifts and different light of gray

You clocked out first, I stayed behind

But I still remember how it felt to find

A friend in an empty retail floor

Where every hour was a door closing slow

I'm counting down till you walk back through that door

And we can pick up right where we left off before
