Lyrics

[Verse 1]

Your jacket's still on my chair

Rainmarks on the sleeve

Your keychain on the counter

Like you just forgot to leave

I tried your old voicemail

Just to hear you breathe

Now the room keeps your shape

And it won't let me believe

[Pre-Chorus]

I should've called you sooner

Should've begged you stay

Should've held your hand tighter

And not looked away

Now the clock keeps moving

But I'm stuck on that night

With your face in the doorway

And the hill of white light

[Chorus]

I should've been there

I should've been there (been there)

I should've been there

To pull you back from the edge

Now I'm talking to air

I'm talking to air (to air)

I should've been there

And I can't say it enough

[Verse 2]

We were dumb in the summer

Sitting on the hood of my car

You stole my fries at midnight

And laughed with your mouth full of stars

You drew hearts on my notebook

Then crossed them all out

Said love was a firework

But you never said goodbye out loud

[Pre-Chorus]

I should've read the shadows

In the way you stared

Should've seen the sinking

Behind your easy glare

Now your T-shirt's folded

Like a note I can't unwrite

And the whole damn house is listening

To me cry through the night

[Chorus]

I should've been there

I should've been there (been there)

I should've been there

To pull you back from the edge

Now I'm talking to air

I'm talking to air (to air)

I should've been there

And I can't say it enough

[Bridge]

If I could crawl through memory

I'd take that midnight ride

Cut the engine, hold you close

And keep you here inside

I'd call your name in the hallway

Till your shadow turned around

But grief is just an empty hand

Reaching for a sound

[Final Chorus]

I should've been there

I should've been there (been there)

I should've been there

To pull you back from the edge

Now I'm talking to air

I'm talking to air (to air)

I should've been there

And I can't say it enough

I should've been there

I should've been there (been there)

I should've been there

But you're gone and I'm still here

I should've been there

I should've been there (been there)

I should've been there

And I can't say it enough

Indie rock, mid-tempo with driving muted guitars and steady kick-snare pulse; verse rides dry and intimate, pre-chorus opens with bass climb and vocal strain, chorus lands wider with ringing guitars and harmony doubles. Bridge drops to half-time with sparse toms and a breathy lead before the final chorus surges. Close-mic female vocals, cracked doubles on the hook, delayed ad-libs at line ends, tape hiss and amp bloom into transitions, bright-leaning mix with raw edge., indie rock
