A Few Hearts Ago

(album: Making It Up As I Go - 2023)

It's been treated like treasure
And thrown out like trash
It's been bulletproof
And shattered like glass

It's been stitched up and put back together like Velcro
It's had its phases and stages of heaven and hell, no

A few hearts ago
I was closing down a few bars ago
In the wrong backseat a few cars ago
Wishing for you a few stars ago
Down a lonely road

A few hearts ago
Would've broke yours, I'd be missing out
Wouldn't have these lips I'm kissing now
Time did what it's supposed to do
Thank God I didn't meet you
A few hearts ago

You make it seem like it's never seen battle
You make it green like it's never been traveled
You turned it from jaded and jealous
To wide-eyed and selfless
The truth is with you, it never would've felt this

A few hearts ago
I was closing down a few bars ago
In the wrong backseat a few cars ago
Wishing for you a few stars ago
Down a lonely road

A few hearts ago
Would've broke yours, I'd be missing out
Wouldn't have these lips I'm kissing now
Time did what it's supposed to do
Thank God I didn't meet you
A few hearts ago

It's been stitched up and put back together like Velcro
It's had its phases and stages of heaven and hell, no

A few hearts ago
I was closing down a few bars ago
In the wrong backseat a few cars ago
Wishing for you a few stars ago
Down a lonely road

A few hearts ago
Would've broke yours, I'd be missing out
Wouldn't have these lips I'm kissing now
Time did what it's supposed to do
Thank God I didn't meet you
A few hearts ago

A few hearts ago
A few hearts, a few hearts ago
Yeah, time did what it's supposed to do
Thank God I didn't meet you
A few hearts ago
