Still Here

[ INTRO ]
Two in the morning
And stories move across my skin
No one sees them
No one knows I'm still here
[ VERSE 1 ]
Hundreds of years
Have passed through these empty streets
Cracked roads, broken windows
And buildings left to sleep
But one house still stands
Dark against the rain
One window stays open
Like it always did
There's a little table
A cold cup covered in webs
And all night long
A shadow watches the rain
[ PRE-CHORUS ]
He holds a photograph
With both hands against his chest
The subway rolls through the night
But there is no train left
[ CHORUS ]
He's still here
He's still here
Moving in the dark
He's still here
He's still here
With your picture in his hands
The whole city disappeared
But he never went away
He waits behind that open window
For the one who left that day
[ POST-CHORUS ]
Still here...
Still waiting...
[ VERSE 2 ]
The night grows thinner
And the rain begins to slow
The first pale light
Touches the empty road
Then a girl arrives
With a backpack on her shoulder
A camera around her neck
And nowhere she needs to be
She walks through the silence
Taking pictures as she goes
Every broken street
Every house with shattered glass
Then she sees the building
Still standing in the rain
Clean windows
Solid walls
No cracks along the frame
[ PRE-CHORUS ]
She stops and looks up
At the open window above
She smiles like she found
Something no one else had seen
Then she runs inside
Through the heavy wooden door
And somewhere high above her
A shadow turns
[ CHORUS ]
He's still here
He's still here
Moving in the dark
He's still here
He's still here
With your picture in his hands
The whole city disappeared
But he never went away
He waits behind that open window
For the one who left that day
[ POST-CHORUS ]
Still here...
Still waiting...
[ BRIDGE ]
A sound from upstairs
A window moves
A photograph falls
She looks down
The rain stops
And there he is...
[ FINAL CHORUS ]
He's still here
He's still here
After all these years
He's still here
He's still here
And now she's standing here
She looks at the photograph
And forgets how to breathe
Because the face inside the frame
Is the face she sees
[ FINAL OUTRO ]
You were waiting for me...
