[Verse 1] Floorboard creaks I freeze mid-step Family photos Watching like a threat Coffee cup Still in the sink Swear I locked the door But I don’t think [Pre-Chorus] Every room is breathing slow Every window’s got that glow Something here I used to know Won’t let go [Chorus] There’s a shadow in the house Wearing all my old mistakes Every hallway that I walk It’s waiting at the gate There’s a shadow in the house Knows the words I never say I can’t turn the lights out It always wants to stay [Verse 2] Jacket on Chair by the bed Smell of rain Inside my head Dust on books Names I forgot Memories I boxed up Back to rot [Pre-Chorus] Talking quiet to the air Say I’m fine Pretend it’s prayer But I feel that empty chair Pulling at my stare [Chorus] There’s a shadow in the house Wearing all my old mistakes Every hallway that I walk It’s waiting at the gate There’s a shadow in the house Knows the words I never say I can’t turn the lights out It always wants to stay [Bridge] Maybe it’s you Maybe it’s me (oh no) Maybe it’s every Thing I couldn’t be I open the door Nothing outside Close it again It slips back inside [Chorus] There’s a shadow in the house Wearing all my old mistakes Every hallway that I walk It’s waiting at the gate There’s a shadow in the house Knows the words I never say If I ever move out Will it follow me away?
