The Ghost (I'm Still Here)

[Verse 1] I linger by the doorway Cold inside the frame You set out two coffee cups Before you say my name The kettle clicks softly The chair stays pulled away You fold my old blue sweater Then look where I once stayed [Pre-Chorus] I watch your hands tremble Around the phone and keys Every breath you swallow Feels louder than the leaves [Chorus] I'm still here I'm still here In the silence that you keep I'm still here I'm still here Standing watch while you can't sleep You can't hear me You can't see But I never truly leave [Verse 2] Your brother brings dinner Your mother checks the door They speak in quiet voices Like they did before The picture by the window Keeps catching evening light You laugh without meaning to Then apologize to the night [Pre-Chorus] I know the way you wander Room to room each day Looking where I used to be Though nothing answers back [Chorus] I'm still here I'm still here In the silence that you keep I'm still here I'm still here Standing watch while you can't sleep You can't hear me You can't see But I never truly leave [Bridge] I reach but pass right through you Like sunlight through the rain A house remembers footsteps Long after they've gone away I watch the seasons gather Around the life we knew If love could build a doorway I'd walk right back to you [Final Chorus] I'm still here I'm still here In the corners of your tears I'm still here I'm still here Watching seasons become years Though my voice can't find you Though my hands can't hold Love keeps echoing louder Than the silence growing old I'm still here I'm still here Every morning you appear
