Tonnie

Lyrics: [Verse 1] You had ink on your fingers From the notes in my old notebook We were seventeen and stubborn Sharing fries and half the truth You wrote “forever” on my jacket In a corner Small and shy I laughed it off that evening But I kept it all this time [Chorus] Tonnie I still say your name the same Like a quiet secret on my tongue Thirty years of crowded days between us But my heart stayed where we were young Tonnie All the roads that took me under Led me back to where you’d be I lost a lifetime looking And you walked right back to me [Verse 2] Found your face in a coffee shop Silver ring and tired eyes You said “do I even know you?” Then you saw it And you smiled That old jacket Faded letters Your handwriting Barely there You reached out just to trace it Like a prayer in the air [Chorus] Tonnie I still say your name the same Like a quiet secret on my tongue Thirty years of crowded days between us But my heart stayed where we were young Tonnie All the roads that took me under Led me back to where you’d be I lost a lifetime looking And you walked right back to me [Bridge] We compared the lines on our faces Stories we never got to share All the loves that almost held us All the nights we wished “somewhere…” You said “I thought I dreamt you” I said “I never really left” Two kids in older bodies Still catching the same breath [Chorus] Tonnie I still say your name the same Like a quiet secret on my tongue Thirty years of crowded days between us But my heart stayed where we were young Tonnie If there’s anything I’m learning It’s that some things never leave I lost a lifetime waiting So come spend what’s left with me
