[Verse 1 (Male-ELIROBB)]
Your hoodie
Still hangs
By the front door.
I don’t know
Why I haven’t moved it.
Guess part of me
Still thinks
You’ll come back
Looking for it.
Now every room
Feels way too big.
Funny…
This place got quieter
After you left.
[Verse 2 (Females-StreetDolls)]
I still drive
Past your street.
Not because
I think you’ll be there…
I just don’t know
Another way home.
Everybody says
I should move on.
Nobody tells you
How.
[Pre-Chorus (Both)]
We weren’t toxic.
We weren’t perfect.
We were just…
Running out of time.
[Chorus (Both)]
Now we’re ghosts
In the hallway.
Passing memories
Every day.
Same apartment.
Different lives.
Same goodbye.
Different nights.
Maybe loving
Wasn’t enough.
Maybe timing
Beat both of us.
Now we’re two names
On two different phones…
Still feeling
Alone.
[Verse 3 (Male-ELIROBB)]
Remember dancing
In the kitchen?
Midnight.
Barefoot.
No music.
Just laughing.
Crazy…
That’s the memory
That hurts the most.
Not the goodbye.
The normal days.
[Verse 4 (Females-StreetDolls)]
I still know
How you take your coffee.
Still know
What songs make you smile.
It’s weird…
Knowing someone
Can disappear…
Without going anywhere.
[Rap Verse (Male-ELIROBB)]
Maybe we were just
Two broken people.
Trying to build
A perfect picture.
Using cracked glass.
Maybe forever
Was never promised.
Maybe we just
Loved each other
At the wrong address.
Funny how
You can know
Every scar
On someone’s body…
And one day
Not know
Who they are anymore.
[Dark Haunting Orchestral Solo]
[Bridge (Females-StreetDolls)]
If I saw you
Tomorrow…
Would we hug?
Would we wave?
Or pretend
We never happened?
[Bridge Part 2 (ELIROBB)]
I think…
I’d smile.
Say I’m okay.
Then drive away.
And cry…
When no one’s looking.
[Final Chorus (Both)]
Now we’re ghosts
In the hallway.
Two hearts
Walking separate ways.
If forever
Wasn’t our story…
Thank you…
For every page.
Maybe somewhere
In another life…
We got it right.
[Outro (Both)]
[StreetDolls:]
I hope you find your home…
[ELIROBB:]
I hope you already did…
[Together:]
Goodbye…
ELIROBB
