Lyrics:
Took the long way home again
Passed the street where you said "forever"
Windows down but I feel the weight
Of the silence you left in the leather
That diner’s still got your favorite song
And the lights still flicker like they belong
But your name echoes like a ghost
And I can’t shake it — not even close
Every red light feels like proof
That I still drive toward pieces of you
Chorus
Half the city still knows your name
Every block, every turn, every piece of blame
You’re gone but you're not erased
You're written on this place
I try to move, but I circle again
Past the parking lot where we began
I’m not lost — just chasing what we used to be
In half the city
Your friends don’t wave like they used to
Guess I’m just a page that’s through
But I still park near that old view
Where you said the sky reminded you of truth
The ice cream shop still stays open late
But without you there it don’t taste the same
And every quiet street I find
Feels like a rerun of our time
Chorus
Half the city still knows your name
Every block, every turn, every piece of blame
You’re gone but you're not erased
You're written on this place
I try to move, but I circle again
Past the parking lot where we began
I’m not lost — just chasing what we used to be
In half the city
Bridge
I thought time would change the scene
But you’re mapped into the in-between
Final Chorus
Half the city still says your name
Not out loud, but it feels the same
You're gone — but I'm still here
And you're still everywhere
I try to move, but it pulls me in
Like the past wrapped in oxygen
I breathe you in with every street
You're still in half the city
