[Verse 1] I found your name on a paper cup By the door where the cold came in You said you were only passing through But you stayed in the back of my skin A bent spoon in the sink Your jacket on the chair by mine You left a dent in the room Like a tune I keep rewinding The table still knows your glass The hallway kept your pace I went looking for a reason Found it in your face [Pre-Chorus] Now every hall sounds like you Every step wants to turn I don't know where you went But I know what I learned [Chorus] Echoes of a stranger, yeah Echoes of a stranger You leave me wanting more Like a detail I can't let go Echoes of a stranger, still Echoes of a stranger I found your name on a paper cup And then you were gone by the door Echoes of a stranger, yeah Echoes of a stranger [Post-Chorus] Just a name, just a trace Lost to time and space Your cup rings on the counter Like you were here, then gone [Verse 2] You laughed like a spark off a match Then slipped out before I could ask There was peach on your lower lip And a tear in your thrift-store mask I wore that look all week Like a spot I couldn't wash out Kept hearing your boots on the stairs Even with nobody else around The fridge light buzzed all night Like it knew what I was doing I kept checking the cup Like it might tell me where you were going [Pre-Chorus] Now every hall sounds like you Every stoplight makes me wait I don't know what you took But I know it stayed [Chorus] Echoes of a stranger, yeah Echoes of a stranger You leave me wanting more Like a detail I can't let go Echoes of a stranger, still Echoes of a stranger I found your name on a paper cup And then you were gone by the door Echoes of a stranger, yeah Echoes of a stranger [Post-Chorus] Just a name, just a trace Lost to time and space Your cup rings on the counter Like you were here, then gone [Bridge] Maybe you never meant much Just a hand on a moving train But I keep your voice in the tile And your shadow in the frame If you come back through my life Don't bring a name, just stay Let me meet you as you are Before you fade away [Final Chorus] Echoes of a stranger, yeah Echoes of a stranger You leave me wanting more Like a detail I can't let go Echoes of a stranger, still Echoes of a stranger I found your name on a paper cup And then you were gone by the door Echoes of a stranger, yeah Echoes of a stranger I still hear you in the walls Echoes of a stranger, still Echoes of a stranger Till the night gives up it all [Hook] One little cup, one little clue You walked in fast, then slipped on through Say it once and it won't let go Your name keeps humming in the afterglow [Post-Chorus] Just a name, just a trace Lost to time and space Oh, lost to time and space I remember your face, just a trace
