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
