Verse 1) The words are hanging heavy in the hallway air I threw them out like silver, but you left them sitting there I’m memorizing shadows on the ceiling overhead While the ghost of what I whispered fills the silence in the bed. (Chorus) What does it mean when I’m the only one who fell? Is it a secret that you’re just not ready to tell? Is it a "not right now" or a "never going to be"? I’m drowning in the space between the "you" and the "me." When I say "I love you" and the echo is all I hear Does it mean I’m holding on to what’s already disappeared? (Verse 2) You didn’t pull your hand away, you didn’t even blink But there’s a sudden distance deeper than you think I’m reading into pauses and the way you check the time Like I committed some unspoken, accidental crime. (Chorus) What does it mean when I’m the only one who fell? Is it a secret that you’re just not ready to tell? Is it a "not right now" or a "never going to be"? I’m drowning in the space between the "you" and the "me." When I say "I love you" and the echo is all I hear Does it mean I’m holding on to what’s already disappeared? (Gtr solo) (Outro) I’ll take it back if it makes it easier to breathe I’ll tuck it in my pocket, I’ll wear it on my sleeve But the air is getting colder, and the truth is getting plain It’s a lonely kind of rhythm, dancing solo in the rain. Yeah, it’s a lonely kind of rain.
