[Verse 1]
Found your mug on the counter
Lip print fading in the dust
Every floorboard knows our footsteps
Now it only remembers one of us
[Chorus]
This empty house echoes your name
Every quiet room sounds the same
Talk to the walls so I don’t break
Set two plates
Then scrape one away
This empty house
It don’t feel like mine
Since you walked out
It’s just four walls and time
[Verse 2]
Your sweater’s still on the chair back
Sleeves hanging like they’re reaching out
I sleep sideways in the doorway
Like I might keep all the shadows out
[Chorus]
This empty house echoes your name
Every quiet room sounds the same
Talk to the walls so I don’t break
Set two plates
Then scrape one away
This empty house
It don’t feel like mine
Since you walked out
It’s just four walls and time
[Bridge]
I keep the TV on low (oh)
Can’t stand the sound of my own bones
Light one candle at the sink
Watch it tremble when I think
If you opened up that door
Would it recognize you anymore
[Chorus]
This empty house echoes your name
Every quiet room sounds the same
Talk to the walls so I don’t break
Set two plates
Then scrape one away
This empty house
It don’t feel like mine
Just a frame where our old life hangs dry
[Outro]
One cup in the cupboard
One key on the ring
I breathe in the silence
And call it living
