[Intro | Suspended Energy | Close Breath Delivery | Prepared Piano + Finger Snaps] I cut you out of the photograph Now all I see is where you were [Verse 1 | Restrained Motion | Clear Chest Delivery | Muted Bass + Piano Ticks] The scissors left a crooked white Between my shoulder and the chair I thought I'd made the picture mine But now the picture stops me there I cross the hall and catch the glass For half a second, no one stands Then there I am, a second late Still holding silver in my hands [Pre-Chorus | Building Energy | Lifted Mix Delivery | Dry Tom Drive + String Plucks] Maybe it's the angle Maybe it's the light Maybe I just looked away At exactly the wrong time [Chorus | High Energy | Open Belt + Tight Doubles | Full Drums + Piano Chords] Where I used to be Something keeps forgetting me Every room looks almost normal Until I try to enter it I wave, I speak, I reach A second passes out of view Where I used to be Something else is showing through [Post-Chorus | Buoyant Energy | Clipped Hook Delivery | Handclaps + Marimba Figure] Not gone I'm here So why does everything look strange? [Verse 2 | Restrained Motion | Clear Chest Delivery | Muted Bass + Marimba Steps] A yellow cab slows at the curb I lift my hand, it pulls away The driver takes the man behind me Like I was never in his way They call my order at the counter A stranger takes it with a smile I open up my mouth to stop her She never even looks my way [Pre-Chorus | Building Energy | Lifted Mix Delivery | Dry Tom Drive + String Plucks] Maybe no one noticed Maybe I was slow Maybe something changed today That everybody else just knows [Chorus | High Energy | Open Belt + Tight Doubles | Full Drums + Piano Chords] Where I used to be Something keeps forgetting me Every room looks almost normal Until I try to enter it I wave, I speak, I reach A second passes out of view Where I used to be Something else is showing through [Bridge | Weightless Energy | Intimate Head-Mix Delivery | Solo Piano + Sparse Vibraphone] I moved your books I changed the sheets I cleared the drawer I changed the seat I took your name out of my phone Then stared until mine looked strange I put it down and laughed it off Some days your own face seems to change [Breakdown | Intensifying Energy | Tense Chest Delivery | Bass Ostinato + Percussion Dropouts] The glass goes blank Then gives me back The street moves on The door swings shut I say my name to hear it clearly It sounds familiar enough Maybe I just need some sleep Maybe I've been thinking too much [Chorus | Peak Energy | Full Belt + Layered Doubles | Full Drums + String Surge] Where I used to be Something keeps forgetting me Every room looks almost normal Until I try to enter it I wave, I speak, I reach But lately nothing seems to move Where I used to be Something else is showing through [Outro | Unresolved Energy | Close Breath Delivery | Prepared Piano + Single Bell] I look into the glass again There I am I think [End]
