Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Bought a bigger bed this year
Still sleep on the same old side
Mugs for two on the kitchen shelf
Dust on one I never dry
Clock glows blue on the hallway wall
I keep walking past the time
All these plants in chipped white pots
Growing better than my life
[Chorus]
I get older in these empty rooms
Count the creaks in the ceiling
The stains in the bathroom
Every year it gets a little more quiet
Every year it feels a little less mine
Lonely comes early now
Like the dark in winter skies
[Verse 2]
Neighbors moved and they changed their name
On the box by the metal door
I still wave at the curtain there
No one’s watching anymore
Mother calls on a Sunday night
Asks if I’m eating right
I watch soup turn cold on the stove
Say I’m happy
Say I’m fine
[Chorus]
I get older in these empty rooms
Count the jars in the cupboard
The bills on the table
Every year it gets a little more silent
Every year the chairs look a little more vacant
Lonely comes early now
Puts its keys in the same old place
[Bridge]
Friends have kids and smaller weekends
I have books with folded corners
Scroll through faces I half remember
Thumb on names I never call
Is it me or just the weather
Is it choice or just the fall
Of a life that filled the calendar
Till there was nothing there at all
[Chorus]
I get older in these empty rooms
Count the lines on my hands
The hairs in the sink
Every year it gets a little more honest
Every year I talk a little more softly
Lonely comes early now
Stays over most nights
[Outro]
[soft bicycle bell rings once
Then again
Uneven]
[distant train whistle rises and falls under the last held vocal line]
I press my face to the dark
Cold glass
Watch a stranger’s light go past
[train whistles echo
Bicycle bell tinkles lightly
Both fading into room tone]

Prompt
Muted, "dead" acoustic guitar and breathy, doubled vocals. Diary-like lyrics, bicycle bells, and train whistles in the outro. A haunting, mundane indie-folk track about being lonely as you age. Story.
