[Intro] [whispered vocals] In the classroom of my head Paper cranes all stained in red Tiny hands along the wall Names I can’t recall [Verse 1] Silver swings in fading rain Rusted chains still hum my name Empty shoes along the fence Flash of teeth and innocence Cherry petals on my desk One by one They fall and rest Photo corners curled and torn Did we ever mourn? [Pre-Chorus] I hear our laughter underwater Echoed in a broken border All our secrets Sealed in glass Watch them sink too fast [Chorus] Glass gardens of yesterday Shattered in a single day Every smile you ever drew Cuts my heart in two I’m chasing the ghosts we played Back before the world decayed If I touch your hand in dreams Do you still believe in me? [Verse 2] Little crowns of folded tape Cardboard swords we used to raise Hallway wars and hidden notes Chalk dust in our throats Moonlight on the empty gym Scoreboard eyes are growing dim Every point we ever scored Offered to the dark [Pre-Chorus] I hear your footsteps in the stairwell Counting down like distant church bells All our promises in chalk Washed into the storm [Chorus] [Bridge] [children’s choir Distant] One for sorrow Two for flame Three for every Forgotten name [female vocal Low] I wear your ribbon Around my wrist Pull it tight Until I slip [Chorus] [Chorus]
