Lyrics

Intro

Mm

Mm-hmm

Verse 1

I heard you moved across the city

Didn't take long getting back to me

Maya mentioned it at dinner

I said good for him anyway

Then she showed me a photo

You were standing by the door

I only looked for half a second

Couldn't tell you any more

Pre-Chorus

Except your hair is getting longer

And that jacket's still the same

And her hand stays in your back pocket

But who's paying attention anyway

Chorus

You were out on Friday

Looking happier than you did with me

And I'm not saying that means something

It's just hard not to see

Hope she likes your record collection

Hope she laughs at all your jokes

Hope she doesn't mind the silence

When you're too busy being right to talk

I swear I'm doing better

Got my own things going on

I just know a little too much

For someone who's moved on

Verse 2

My sister saw you downtown

Said you looked really good

I said that's actually great

Like a normal person would

Then I asked if you seemed different

She said why do you care

I laughed a little too quickly

And changed the subject there

Pre-Chorus

I don't miss the way we'd argue

Or waiting hours for a text

I just hate she gets the version

I was hoping to get next

Chorus

You were out on Sunday

Wearing that old jacket you stole from me

And maybe that's completely normal

Maybe it's not that deep

Hope she likes your Sunday moods

And the way you cancel plans

Hope she knows you need an hour

Just to decide where you're gonna eat

I swear I'm doing better

Got my own things going on

I just know a little too much

For someone who's moved on

Bridge

Maybe she's better at reading you

Maybe you finally learned to say what's wrong

Maybe you figured out all the things

We spent years getting wrong

And if that's true then good for you

Really that's what I mean

It's just weird how every version of my future

Doesn't look the way it used to be

Final Chorus

You changed your profile picture

She's standing where I used to stand

And no I didn't go looking

It just kind of happened

Hope she gets the best of you

Hope she gets the part I missed

Hope she never has a reason

To memorize details like this

I swear I'm doing better

Most days I even believe it

But if anybody asks

No I haven't seen it

Not that I'm checking

Not that I'm checking

Yeah I haven't seen a thing

Not that I'm checking
