[Verse 1] The engine’s cooling in the rain A different kind of hollow pain The road behind is lost in grey I threw the only world away Now silence is a heavy weight Is it too far? Is it too late? [Chorus] And in the backlight of regret I see the things I can't forget The freedom that I thought I’d find Is just the ghost I left behind [Verse 2] I reach for my phone, but the screen is dead Just like the words we never said The map is torn, the light is dim The water’s rising to the rim [Bridge] I watch you through the window pane While you are running through the rain You searched for stars in empty skies But saw the truth within my eyes [Whispering] Take me back. [Whispering] The backlight.
