Verse 1 You found me in the static of a broken little life Cheap lights, bad sleep, violent nights Everyone else wanted pieces, something they could own You just leaned against the noise and let me be loud Verse 2 I was never built for quiet, never meant to behave I drag storms behind me like chains I won't break But you don't run when the sky goes black You stand there smiling while the thunder talks back Pre-Chorus Maybe we're just two wrecks learning how to breathe Maybe this whole thing burns eventually Chorus But you are the echo to my expanse And it is a song I will never tire of hearing Every word I throw into the dark You send it back like you were always listening You are the echo to my expanse In the hollow places you make sound live If this world takes everything from me You're the one thing I would never give Verse 3 You ask if I've eaten, if I've slept at all Like survival's a language you refuse to let me forget You look at the wreckage and don't call it a mess You say it looks like something worth protecting Bridge Maybe we're reckless, maybe we're doomed Maybe we're building a life in a burning room But when the silence stretches wide and cold You're the voice that calls me back home Final Chorus You are the echo to my expanse And it is a song I will never tire of hearing All the ghosts that used to live in me Went quiet the moment you appeared You are the echo to my expanse And I swear I feel it in my bones Every time I shout into the dark You prove I'm not alone
