[Intro] I heard your name through the wall of rain not loud enough to answer not gone enough to fade [Verse 1] There's a chair where you used to leave a coat of light across the sleeve I know the shape is mine by now I draw you wrong, but I draw you out The window keeps a little sound of footsteps turning underground I press my ear against the years and make a face from what I fear [Pre-Chorus] If memory is a room I built with missing doors and crooked sills then why do you still feel so near when nothing true is standing here? [Chorus] I don't remember you right I remember you close like a voice bleeding through from a radio ghost I don't remember your face I remember the light how it stayed on my hands after you left the night So let me keep you this way not clear, but kind an afterimage burning behind my eyes [Verse 2] Your shadow changed inside my head softened every word you said I kept the warmth and lost the knife I made a shelter from your life Maybe that is not the truth maybe I have covered you with every color I survived to keep the gone thing half-alive [Pre-Chorus] If love is not a photograph but smoke beneath a broken lamp then tell me, is it still a lie to hold the blur and call it mine? [Chorus] I don't remember you right I remember you close like a voice bleeding through from a radio ghost I don't remember your face I remember the light how it stayed on my hands after you left the night So let me keep you this way not clear, but kind an afterimage burning behind my eyes[Bridge] Far away far away you arrive in pieces Half a word half a breath nothing here releases Far away far away I am still receiving Not the truth not a lie just the shape of needing [Drop] Your voice in the wires your face in the rain your name losing shape again and again [Final Chorus] I don't remember you right I remember you close like a light in the hallway where nobody goes I don't remember your face I remember the glow how it follows me softly where I cannot follow So let me keep you this way not clear, but kind an afterimage living behind my eyes [Outro] I heard your name through the wall of rain not loud enough to answer not gone enough to fade
