Ambling about
She traced the steps that they shared
And now she doubts
All of the words that he aired

So ‘I miss you’ is shorthand
For ‘I’m sure glad I got away’
And ‘I love you’ is shorthand
For ‘I just only want to play’

Thinking out loud
Her voice starts to waver and shake
Her tears reach the ground
Matching the sound the rain made

So ‘I miss you’ is shorthand
For ‘I’m sure glad I got away’
And ‘I love you’ is shorthand
For ‘I just only want to play’
