Lyrics
Verse 1
Picture frames still tilted on the shelf
You were twenty-one, figuring out yourself
Too much life left packing in a suitcase
Now I'm looking right through an empty space
We had summer plans written on the wall
Didn't think a leaf had to drop in fall
It's too quiet here without your laugh
Stuck reading the first paragraph.
Chorus (Both)
Oh, the clock stopped running way too soon
Gone before the middle of June
Yeah, it hurts to breathe, hurts to speak
When the floor just crumbles underneath
We were burning bright, running wild
Just a kid, just a kid, just a child.
Verse 2
Yeah, look
It's heavy on my chest, heavy on my mind
Tryna process how we left you behind
Got your favorite song on repeat in the whip
Tears on the steering wheel, losing my grip
We was supposed to grow old, get the grey in our hair
Now I'm staring at the sky asking why you ain't there
Memories play back like a cassette tape
Trying to find peace, trying to find escape
From the pain, from the shock, from the sudden drop
Man, the hardest part is knowing that the clock just stops.
Chorus (Both)
Oh, the clock stopped running way too soon
Gone before the middle of June
Yeah, it hurts to breathe, hurts to speak
When the floor just crumbles underneath
We were burning bright, running wild
Just a kid, just a kid, just a child.
Bridge (Sabrina & Nelly Harmony)
They say time heals everything they touch
Well, they never loved someone this much
Never had to fold up a jacket that small
Never had to carry this kind of wall.
Yeah, we riding for you, even though you out of sight
(Keeping your memory burning every single night.
Outro
Just a kid.
Way too young.
Song left half-sung.
Rest easy.
Yeah, rest easy.
