[Verse 1] I hear your fan hum through the wall, blue on blue, low glow leaking under the door My hands go numb around my phone, I keep it face down on the floor The hallway breathes in little clicks, the pipes knock once then settle still A white bar crawls across the ceiling and breaks against the windowsill [Verse 2] The kettle ticks in the next room, your jacket’s still on the chair I watch the dust inside the desk lamp turn slow like it has nowhere to go The clock forgets another minute, the curtains barely seem to move A spoon lies cold beside the sink, one drop still trembling at its edge [Verse 3] Your name keeps slipping off my tongue like pills across a bathroom tile I let the amp breathe soft and low and sink into it for a while The bass moves underneath the carpet, a pulse too tired to reach the bed I feel the room go out of focus and leave its outline in my head [Refrain Hold me in the static let it wash my edges thin I can hear you through the drywall your voice bent and folding in [Verse 4] Outside, the bus brakes hiss while a porch light shakes against the rain I’m learning how to stay right here without attempting to explain A paper cup spins by the gutter, then catches underneath a grate Headlights stretch across the window and vanish half a second late [Verse] The radiator clears its throat, the fan resumes its even flow A shadow passes through the doorway, too thin to be someone I know If I go quiet, don’t try to fix me, let the room retain its glow The whole place feels like a memory that forgot to let me go
