Funny how a dream can look so perfect
Standing on the other side of a door
I thought freedom tasted like forever
Thought I was made for something more

More nights
More lights
More stories left to tell

I kissed the future on the forehead
And walked away from heaven by myself

Everybody told me
The ocean’s full of chances
Everybody said
“You’ll be fine…”

Now there’s a goldfish in my kitchen
And silence in my bed
A hundred different people all around me
But you’re the voice inside my head
I thought I was chasing freedom
I was running from a home
Now every room I walk into
Reminds me I’m alone

You always dreamed in open highways
Always searching for another sky
And I loved that restless part of you
Even when it hurt to watch you fly
I never wanted chains between us
I only wanted you to stay
But love cannot survive forever
When one heart is already walking away

Now there’s a goldfish in the corner
Watching both our memories swim
You inside the past we built together
Me learning how to live again
You thought the world was waiting
Beyond what we had known
But sometimes what we’re searching for
Is already home

The landlord keeps leaving notes beneath my door
My boss keeps calling every day
The dishes grow into small mountains
And somehow I just look away
The fish is still alive somehow
Which honestly surprises me
Maybe he’s as lost as I am
Swimming circles endlessly

I cried until the tears grew tired
I broke
Then slowly healed
I learned that broken hearts are gardens
If you give them time to bloom

And every day I reach for my phone
Then stop before I type your name
Because hope is terrifying
When rejection feels the same

Do you ever think about us?

Sometimes.

Do you miss me?

Sometimes.

Would you open the door?

I don’t know.

There’s a goldfish in the kitchen
Still swimming through the blue
And every little thing around me
Seems connected back to you
I finally understand
What I was too blind to see
You were never just my lover
You were the gravity beneath me

Some stories find their way back home
Some drift out with the tide

And every night I sit here wondering
Which one is ours
Tonight…
