(Chorus - Female Singer) I was here fanning the flame While you were building castles in the rain In a world I couldn't see, a world that didn't need me Tell me, is there still a space in that design for me? Our love's down to its last ember, can you remember? Or are you lost in that September? (Verse 1) Yeah... Lost is an understatement, more like misplaced my foundation Created a nation in my mind, a perfect isolation You'd reach out your hand, I'd offer a vacant stare Building kingdoms of thought on a foundation of air It was never you, nah, don't ever think it was that It was the noise in my dome, tryna answer where I'm at The pressure creates diamonds or it just creates cracks And I felt myself splinterin', retreatin' from the facts You were lighting candles in the dark, I was drawing blueprints in my head Leaving the realest thing I got for the fantasies instead... My bad. (Chorus) I was here fanning the flame While you were building castles in the rain In a world I couldn't see, a world that didn't need me Tell me, is there still a space in that design for me? Our love's down to its last ember, can you remember? Or are you lost in that September? (Verse 2) I'd talk to the silence, hoping it would talk back Trace the outline of your shadow, feel the things we lack I was fighting a ghost, baby, a war with your echo Screaming "I love you" into a void where my words wouldn't go. Every "I'm fine" you muttered was a brick in a wall I was trying to climb over, terrified I'd fall. This ain't about pointing fingers, laying all the blame It's about seeing if you wanna fan this dying flame. Or should I just let it go? (Bridge) I'm tearing down the walls, pixel by pixel, memory by memory I see the hurt in your eyes, that's the only reality that's hitting me. This distance felt so wide, a cold and endless sea... Then come on, take my hand, and swim back here with me. I'm dismantling the fiction, I'm confessing all my crimes Just gimme one more chance to get it right this time. (Chorus) I was here fanning the flame! (He: I see it now!) While you were building castles in the rain! (He: I'm tearing 'em down!) In a world I couldn't see... (He: I'm here now, I'm present...) Tell me, is there still a space in that design for me? (He: It's yours. It was always yours.) Our love's down to its last ember, can you remember? Or are you lost... (Outro) No more paper worlds, no more faded blueprints... Just your hand in mine, no more hints. Just your hand in mine... Let's re-design. Let's re-ignite. From this ember... we can start a fire...
