[Verse] People packing bags in the moon’s pale glow Quiet whispers as the night winds blow Footsteps fading down the empty street Leaving shadows where lives used to meet [Verse 2] The clock ticks loud as silence crawls Echoes bounce off these hollow walls Faces fade Their laughter burns Another goodbye No one returns [Chorus] They're gone like the wind Slipping through my hand Like the tide pulling away from the sand Fingers grasping but there's nothing to hold Only memories that’ve started to grow cold [Verse 3] Doors keep closing The sound is a sting Every goodbye feels like it’s taking a wing A parade of moments I can't rewind In the rearview mirror They leave me behind [Verse 4] Worn-out letters and a photograph Ghosts of what I loved They’re all I have A trail of exits in the story we spun Each chapter ends with someone on the run [Bridge] Streetlights dim The horizon wide It welcomes them while I'm left inside Fighting the whispers The quiet ache Hoping someone stays for my heart’s sake
