Motion Capture"
(Verse 1)
November again
the streetlight flickers like it knows
you left your coat in my closet
I still keep the window closed
we held our breath for the flash
inhale
click
exhale
gone
you said
“just be still”
but you were already moving on
If we blink, do we lose it all?
If we breathe, do we let it fall?
(Verse 2)
your house still smells like cedar
like summer pretending it's fall
you were a half-smile in the doorway
I was trying not to call
motion capture,
but we were moving too fast
to ever look still
(Chorus)
I’m a photo you forgot to save
you're a voice in a hallway
I never knew what to say
except
please stay
even if we don’t mean it
even if it’s just for the picture
(Verse 3)
the last leaf’s under snow now
I don’t know what that means
except maybe everything ends
while pretending it’s still green
Motion capture, truth in blur,
Love and loss in a single flash
That frame is past, though we just stood—
Still as stone, like lovers would.
Oh, November, don’t forget me—
I’m just a leaf caught in the memory.
Before it got buried under the snow
(Bridge)
the shutter blinks
and so do we
inhale
click
exile
breathe
(Outro)
you let the light in
but didn’t stay to see it fade
I still pause before I breathe
just in case you want to stay
just in case this time
we get to be
more than
motion capture
