Verse 1 I found a doorway in the light of my sleep, A city folded where the years run deep, Streets made of echoes, names worn thin, Every corner asks me where I’ve been. Pre-Chorus Maps curl up when I say your name, North forgets itself, south stays the same, I chase the light like it owes me truth, Through borrowed skies and borrowed youth. Chorus There’s a place lost to time in the back of my mind, Where the clocks never move and the stars misalign, I’m reaching for her face, it’s the last thing I knew, Fading like a promise I almost broke through. Verse 2 Walls breathe stories I almost recall, A laugh in the stairwell, a shadow on the wall, Your voice is a river I can’t outrun, I cup my hands and it slips like sun. Pre-Chorus Photographs burn when I look too hard, Every memory’s missing the sharpest part, I trace your outline in borrowed light, A shape that dissolves every night. Chorus There’s a place lost to time in the back of my mind, Where the clocks never move and the stars misalign, I’m reaching for her face, it’s the last thing I knew, Fading like a promise I almost broke through. Bridge If I walk far enough will the past stand still, Will the ruins remember my will, Say your name like a prayer in the dark, Hoping the sound leaves a mark. Breakdown I know you’re real, I feel the ache, A truth too heavy for dreams to fake, If memory’s a door, I’ll bleed on the key, Just to see you see me. Final Chorus There’s a place lost to time in the back of my mind, Where the clocks never move and the stars misalign, I’m reaching for her face, it’s the last thing I knew, If I find that place, I’ll find you. Outro Till the morning forgets what the night let me see, I’ll search the ruins you left in me.
