Lyrics
The spartina grass on James Island is turning gold for fall.
I redacted your name from the map I keep tacked to the wall.
Drew a new isobar right across your latitude line.
And this quiet I won feels a lot like a flatline.
[Chorus]
(Second vocalist)
When I finally forget you,

[Verse 2]
Your laugh came off the cobblestones of Chalmers Street last week.

The signal was you—a clean channel I finally taught myself how to quell.
[Outro]
A palimpsest heart. A map with a ghost underneath.
