We learned to cook in that small blue kitchen
Burnt toast
Cheap wine
Late August heat
Argued over nothing till we laughed on the floor
Swearing this was all we'd ever need
Golden years
Still ours to keep
Even as we turn the page
You were my home
I was your safe street
Now we just walk a different way
Thank you for the storms and the quiet
For every almost
Every start
We didn't make it as lovers
But you still live in my heart
You held my hand in that waiting room silence
I held your bags when you chased your degree
Your hoodie's still folded in the back of my closet
Not as a promise
Just a piece of our history
Golden years
Still ours to keep
Even as we turn the page
You were my home
I was your safe street
Now we just walk a different way
Thank you for the storms and the quiet
For every almost
Every start
We didn't make it as lovers
But you still live in my heart
We don't say: Forever
We just say: Remember when?
You call me up with your good news
I call you my oldest friend (oh, oh)
Golden years
Still ours to keep
Even as we turn the page
We gave our best
Then gave each other
The freedom to find a new place
Thank you for the wrong turns and right ones
For every ending
Every spark
We didn't make it as lovers
But you still live in my heart
