You left your jacket on the chair
I touched the sleeve and breathed you there
You said goodbye outside the door
I stayed inside and asked for more
Two blocks down I watched you go
One more word I let it slow
I never touched your hand
The night you asked me to
I never crossed that line
I kept it safe for you
And now the streetlights know
The things I never showed
I never touched your hand
That night I let you go
You called my name from your car
I waved you on from the dark
The rain hit hard on the glass
I watched you fade and let it pass
Three years since we met at the station
One more block of hesitation
I never touched your hand
The night you asked me to
I never crossed that line
I kept it safe for you
And now the streetlights know
The things I never showed
I never touched your hand
That night I let you go
I still have the photo you left
I still wear the silence like a gift
I keep the book you lent to me
With pages I will never free
I never touched your hand
The night you asked me to
I never crossed that line
I kept it safe for you
And now the streetlights know
The things I never showed
I never touched your hand
That night I let you go
I never touched your hand
That night I let you go
