Raya Lyrics

Could've sworn I'd met you before

You were visceral, something worn

Maybe it was how you held yourself

The familiar fashion we both stood out

You were stretched out on the concrete

While I watched and I waited patiently

I tried to approach but had to change tack

Wondered if I'd ever go back

So I worked up the courage and I got real close

The smell of cigarettes on your clothes

I had this looming sense of losing myself

To remember the scars on your eyebrow

You my dear were a quiet killer

Raya you're an old flame and I can't stop thinking

About the moment that I leaned in

Your face in my neck up against the bar

Tensions high, inhibitions far

I knew it would be over before it started

Now I think of it often and I wonder "what if?"

I'm still clinging to your fleeting fingers

To go back to the steps where we started

Let's go back to the steps where we started

Let's go back to the steps where you departed
