intro] Soft light through the window, Dust dancing in the air, Old records spinning slowly, I’m lost in the quiet there. [verse 1] City lights flicker on the ceiling, Shadows stretch across the floor, Coffee’s cold, the night is healing, But I’m not sure what I’m waiting for. Pages turning in my mind, Stories I can’t leave behind. [horn leads in the prechorus] [prechorus] Every echo in this empty room Feels like a memory calling me home, I trace the outlines of the afternoon, Wishing I didn’t feel so alone. [chorus] Faded polaroids in a box beneath my bed, (myyyy bed) Moments I replay, words I never said. (became memories instead) Time slips by in silent streams, (slipping by) I’m drifting through forgotten dreams. [verse 2] Rain taps gently on the windowpane, Streetlights blur behind the glass, I watch the world dissolve in midnight rain, Counting hours that never seem to pass. Your laughter lingers in the hall, A distant echo, barely there at all. Every echo in this empty room Feels like a memory calling me home, I trace the outlines of the afternoon, Wishing I didn’t feel so alone. [bridge] If I could paint the sky with all my yesterdays, Would the colors fade or would they stay? I keep searching for a sign in the static, But all I find is the sound in the rain [Chorus] (repeat, with ad-libs/harmonies) Faded polaroids in a box beneath my bed, Moments I replay, words I never said. Time slips by in silent streams, I’m drifting through forgotten dreams. Outro Soft light through the window, Dust dancing in the air, I close my eyes and let it go— Just memories, floating somewhere. [spoken word] Vervaagde polaroids in een doos, onder mijn bed, Momenten die ik herhaal, woorden worden nooit gezegd. De tijd glijdt voorbij in stille stromen, Ik drijf weg in mjn vergeten dromen.
