Locker 214

Lyrics

Verse 1
You wore my hoodie
To the football game
I had my line ready
Then I choked on your name

I said something stupid
Right out in the hall
You laughed like a dagger
And I took the fall

Now I still see you
In the locker door glass
Same blue sweater, same grin
Like a cut from the past

Pre-Chorus
I drove home quiet
With my hands on the wheel
Replay that moment
And I still feel

The words came out wrong
And the night shut down
One dumb sentence
Messed my whole world round

Chorus
I liked her, I lost her
I said it wrong, now it haunts me
High school ghost in my jacket
Still feels like it owns me
I liked her, I lost her
(Yeah, I lost her)
One stupid line
And you were gone from me

Verse 2
June on the calendar
Senior year smoke
Your name in my notes app
Like a bad joke

I saw you at the store
By the frozen fries
You looked through me
Like I was through with life

But I’m not that kid now
I learned how to stand
From taped-up heartache
And a shaky hand

Pre-Chorus
I don’t need mercy
I don’t need the proof
Just wanted one chance
To tell you the truth

I was scared and awkward
You were right there
And I let that moment
Turn into a dare

Chorus
I liked her, I lost her
I said it wrong, now it haunts me
High school ghost in my jacket
Still feels like it owns me
I liked her, I lost her
(Yeah, I lost her)
One stupid line
And you were gone from me

Bridge
So keep your old yearbooks
Keep the names you knew
I’m done rewinding
What I can’t redo

I buried that hallway
I burned that scene
You were a chapter
Not the whole damn thing

Final Chorus
I liked her, I lost her
I said it wrong, now it haunts me
High school ghost in my jacket
Still feels like it owns me
I liked her, I lost her
(Yeah, I lost her)
One stupid line
And you were gone from me

I liked her, I lost her
(I lost her)
But I’m still here
And I’m finally free
