June 28th Lyrics

June 28th

I text you balloons and cake

It's the first thing I do every year on this date

The same two emojis, I could copy paste

From the last three years I sent it, don't even have to scroll

Not that I was scrolling, I have some self control

But my thumb slipped and I

Was thrown back in time

Like hitting rewind

Watching our messages triple in size

And I wonder

How did we let things fade?

Was one moment to blame?

Still trying to trace

If there's anything I can undo or unsay

If I reach back through the haze

Can we fix this mistake, or is it too late?

Maybe next June 28th

A couple days later I'm still scrolling back

Unraveling memories left in the past

Replaying old videos of us at the dances

And every voice memo we sent between classes

Lyrics sent with lasers, duetting back and forth

It's still my turn in 8 ball, the ball's in my court

Now to bridge this divide

But whenever I try

Hitting rewind

The silence between us grows louder each time

And I wonder

How did we let things fade?

Was one moment to blame?

Still trying to trace

If there's anything I can undo or unsay

If I reach back through the haze

Can we fix this mistake, or is it too late?

Maybe next June 28th

I'll break this radio silence

Blast our playlist and drive to your street

In my dreams I'd watch you throw open the front door

And race to the passenger seat

And we'd skip the hellos like there was no goodbye

Belting in harmony just like old times

And you'd look at me like nothing's changed

And you would be the one to say

How did we let things fade?

Was one moment to blame?

Still trying to trace

If there's anything I can undo or unsay

If I reach back through the haze

Can we fix this mistake, or is it too late?

Maybe next June 28th

November 22nd, it's starting out the same

I wake up to your message with balloons and cake

And I let my hopes fall

Until I get your call
