[Verse 1 — Living] They cleared the room Took everything off the walls Left that chair Right where it was You stood there quiet Hands in your sleeves Said you were fine Wouldn’t look at me [Verse 1 — Afterlife (under, soft)] I was still there Right where you stood Nothing had moved Like I thought it would --- [Chorus — Afterlife lead, Living under] (Afterlife) After I was gone I didn’t go far Still in the space Where you are (Living — under) I talk out loud Like you still hear Don’t shut the door When I’m in here (Afterlife) After I was gone I stayed in place In every habit You didn’t break (Both) When it gets quiet And you don’t move That’s where I am Still with you --- [Verse 2 — Living] You take that drive Same road at night Don’t change a thing Don’t miss a light Something still hangs From your mirror You reach for it Then leave it there You say my name Like it’s nothing now But let it sit Longer somehow [Verse 2 — Afterlife (low, close)] I hear it still Every time you do You let it hang Like I’m next to you --- [Chorus — fuller duet] (Afterlife) After I was gone I didn’t go far Still in the space Where you are (Living) I leave things open Like you’ll walk through Don’t move a thing That still feels you (Both) After I was gone I stayed in place In everything You didn’t change (Both — stronger) When it gets quiet And you don’t move That’s where I am Still with you --- [Bridge — trade lines, emotional but grounded] (Living) I don’t see you But I don’t need to (Afterlife) I never left I just went quiet (Living) Every breath feels Like you’re still close (Afterlife) Everything you are Still holds me in it --- [Final Chorus — biggest overlap] (HARD — Afterlife) After I was gone I didn’t leave You just stopped Seeing me (SOFT — Living) I still feel it When I’m alone Like something here Won’t let me go (BOTH) Same empty room Same worn out view Nothing changed I’m still with you (BOTH — final) When it gets quiet And you don’t move That’s where I am Still with you --- [Outro — split close] (Living) You’re still here (Afterlife) I never left
