Intro

Phone buzzing on the dash, your name still lighting up the screen I-95 northbound, another night, the same old routine Thinking ’bout how you looked this morning, coffee in your hand How the silence said more than the “I’m good” we both understand

Verse 1

Palmetto at 6 a.m., brake lights stacked like dominoes in the dark 79th Publix line stretching longer than the patience left in your heart You text “you good?” I reply “yeah” but the word feel cheap The list of what you need lives in the humidity between us, thick like the air we in You want eyes that still trace your silhouette when the room go quiet Plans I make without you having to remind me to try it To feel like the priority even when the rent week got me pacing But the city don’t slow for nobody, it just keep the pressure raising But tonight I pulled over at the corner store on 27th Ave for something small A cheap bouquet that says I still see you when the grind got me against the wall

Chorus

Gas station flowers still make you smile Even when I pull up late and the funds on trial You still the priority when the chaos calling my name Still the one I choose when the whole world feel the same

Verse 2

I-95 northbound again, your voice playing in my head like a loop Telling me the small things matter more than the grand “I love you” The weight of being the man who takes initiative sit heavy on my chest While I’m calculating if I got enough left to give you my best You want the “I got this, baby” without you having to ask But some nights the only plan I got is making it back in one piece fast The corner store stop, I grab your favorite without a second thought ’Cause I noticed how the little things cut through the bullshit we fought But the weight don’t vanish just ’cause I see it clear Some nights I still come home empty and the distance appear

Chorus

Gas station flowers still make you smile. Even when the shift run long and I’m running on fumes for miles. You still the priority, I put you above the next gig. Still the one I text “on the way” with something for you, big or small, whatever it is.

Verse 3

Lauderhill family house, porch light cutting through the night You on the couch, legs tucked, eyes heavy from the fight I walk in and the mirror in your eyes show me who I been lately The man who swore he’d never let the hustle make you feel like “maybe” You want the security to fall apart without me rushing to fix the frame To say the day was too heavy and have me just say your name And in that reflection I see the version that was supposed to be better than this Standing in the doorway wondering if I’m still the one you miss

Verse 4

The enemy ain’t a person, it’s the four forty-one bus stop at 2 a.m. when you waiting on me It’s the court date letter on the fridge like a countdown we both see It’s the exhaustion that turn “I desire you” into a chore we both feel It’s the scroll on the phone when I should be looking at you for real You want the passion to last, the attraction to stay when the years stack But the city got a way of turning “us” into “I got your back” So I fight it with the flowers from the gas station by the exit ramp With the words “you still the finest thing that happened to this camp” With the hand on your back when the world try to knock you down With the choice to come home instead of another round in this town The enemy wins every time I let the grind become the reason But tonight I’m swinging for the relationship, not just the season

Chorus

Gas station flowers still make you smile Even when the lights low and we both been running for miles You still the priority, I see it in the way you light up Still the one I fight for when the city try to divide us

Verse 5

When the young ones ask how to keep love breathing in a place like this I tell them the list don’t live in the diamonds or the perfect kiss It lives in the gas station stop when you already running late It lives in the eyes that still choose her when the world say “wait” It lives in the security you give when she need to break down without the fix In the initiative you take so she don’t have to keep dropping hints In the passion you guard like it’s the last soft thing you own ’Cause in this concrete jungle, the real win is keeping the fire from going cold So the lesson I pass: choose her daily, even when the rent due Even when the Palmetto don’t care, the small things still get through

Outro

I see what you need without you having to explain. I see the vulnerability you hold back ’cause you scared I might minimize. I understand the desires you carry without the full map. But I’m learning to sit in it with you, no fix, just my eyes. Emotional security in the way I hold space for your storm. And the passion we protect so the fire don’t turn warm.
