Embers of Summer

[Verse 1] Morning light drips through the blinds onto cold sheets, silence hums with your absence like an old fluorescent light. I trace constellations of yesterday in the dust, each mote a memory of you caught in the sun. I’m still living in moments that ended long ago. [Pre-Chorus 1] Caught in the gravity of memory, wondering if I’ll ever break away. Our story loops endlessly, like an old record stuck in one refrain. Is there a dawn beyond this endless grey? [Chorus] I’m orbiting the ghost of your light, a lone satellite in an endless night. But I won’t disappear into the dark, from the shadows I learn to glow. I glow in the dark, I glow in the dark. [Verse 2] Your last goodbye still echoes in my head. I mouth it softly, hoping the words will rearrange. I clutch this ache like a strange souvenir; my hands only know how to hold your absence, but even silence can’t hold its breath forever. [Pre-Chorus 2] Caught in the gravity of memory, but I swear something’s starting to give way. Our story still loops endlessly, like an old record stuck in one refrain, but I feel a dawn behind this endless grey. [Bridge] Finally, I’m slipping from your gravity. In the hollow you left in me, a seed takes root. It reaches toward a sun of my own. I’m ready to bloom beyond your shadow. [Chorus] I’ve slipped free from your gravity, to a place where your shadow can’t follow. And I won’t disappear into the dark, I only learned how to glow. I glow in the dark, I glow in the dark.
