Lyrics
Description
There was a coffee ring on the kitchen table where we vowed to stay,
Your denim jacket on the chair with that thin white scarf from when we'd fray,
You left a voicemail that too faded, you laughed like some nerd then you said be brave,
I played until the battery died and learned your name by how it gave,
I tried to thread the quiet with answers you never gave,
Spoken to the static hoping sound would save.
This is my last goodbye —
A ticket stopped still folded in the pocket of the coat you never chose to wear,
Diner napkin blends in midnight ink, a shaky little prayer,
You taught me how to call the moon at three, then hung up like it wasn't there,
Now your footsteps linger like a language I keep turning over in the air,
I trace the outline of our days, found cracks that taught me how to roam,
Kept a map you left behind until I learned to walk streets on my own,
This is my last goodbye —
I found myself in the seam of your jacket where your name had once been stitched,
Realizing that I kept on tying what's made of promises you never fixed,
So I burned a song at dawn and watched the ash rewrite the morning light,
The truth I didn't know I had, I'm the one who walks away tonight,
This is my last goodbye, I won't haunt the door you closed,
This is my last goodbye, I'm taking back the life you froze,
Last Goodbye to Kalvin Larson
