[Intro] [Bass Slide] [Guitar Free-form Ad-lib: Minor Pentatonic Phrasing] [Drums: Tight Snare, Crisp Hi-hat entry] [Verse 1] The coffee's getting cold on the table You’re looking at your phone, I’m reading the label [Bass: Staccato Pluck] Three inches of wood, but a mile of sea Are you still here, sitting next to me? [Chorus] Why does the air feel so heavy tonight? Is it the shadow or the lack of light? [Call: Is it the shadow?] [Response: Tell me why] Where did the bridge go, the one we built? Is this the silence or is this the guilt? [Verse 2] I watch the dust dancing in the sunbeam Living in a house that’s part of a dream [Bass: Syncopated Walk] You laugh at a screen, I stare at the wall We’re in the same room, but no one’s in the hall [Chorus] Why does the air feel so heavy tonight? Is it the shadow or the lack of light? [Call: Is it the shadow?] [Response: Tell me why] Where did the bridge go, the one we built? Is this the silence or is this the guilt? [Bridge] [Bass: Low-end sustain, back off] [Spoken Word] "I reached out my hand today. But I think I touched the ghost of yesterday instead." [Final Chorus] Why does the air feel so heavy tonight? Is it the shadow or the lack of light? [Call: Lack of light] [Response: Oh, so heavy] Where did the bridge go, the one we built? Is this the silence or is this the guilt? [Outro] [Guitar & Bass Call and Response] It's just the distance... (The distance between us) [Scatting: Ba-da-ba, doo-wop] Keep on walking, keep on drifting... [Ad-lib: Higher register emotional wail] [Fade out]
