Before I Blinked

[Verse 1: Micah Callari]
Everyday, every way, questioning my sanity
Different days, different ways, you come back in my head to say
“Don’t forget me, come and catch me”
(What could I do)
Cuz it’s been nearly two years since the final time you messaged me
That last exchange just seemed like any other typical day
“Don’t forget we have something to do”
(What could I do)
And now you’re good as dead, I had a funeral and everything
The messages sent, I keep on searching for about anything
A clue that you left in the past
It didn’t occur to me that call would be our last

[Chorus: Micah Callari]
Recovering, recovering
From wounds inflicted when your parents
Told me you’d be gone before I blinked
Say something, say something
Affirm that you weren’t lying when you
Told me you’d be back before I blinked

[Verse 2: Micah Callari]
We were just kids, together on the internet
How else could we have possibly met
It’s shit like that makes me question God’s plan
Cuz why would a loving father figure allow me to meet you
An angel personified, when people mistreat you
It hurts, I sometimes question if I’m haunted
If you happen to be listening
I’m sorry I didn’t talk more
I didn’t really mean to ignore
When you said they fucking tore off your door

[Chorus: Micah Callari]
Recovering, recovering
From wounds inflicted when your parents
Told me you’d be gone before I blinked
(What could I do)
Say something, say something
Affirm that you weren’t lying when you
Told me you’d be back before I blinked
(What could I do)

[Verse 3: flatroom !!]
If you’re having trouble listening, then hear this for me

Recovering, recovering, for you
Recovering, recovering, for you

(Recovering, recovering, for you) And everyone knows why you were here
And everyone knows you’ll disappear
(Recovering, recovering, for you) And everyone knows why you were here
And everyone knows that you’ll disappear
(Recovering, recovering, for you) And everyone knows why you were here
And nothing lasts forever, does it
(Recovering, recovering, for you) It’s like I live in a bubble now
For you
