[Verse 1]
Used to wake up loud inside
Every color had a taste
Then the days turned copy-paste
All the edges blurred to gray
Friends were talking in the room
I was underwater
Far
Watching faces move in slow
Like I’d drifted off the star
[Chorus]
I was gone
I was gone
Just breathing
Walking through a world I couldn’t feel
Like a ghost in my own skin
Leaving
Every heartbeat sealed in steel
Then you touched my sleeve so gently
Called my name like it meant something
You pulled me back to the ceiling
You brought me back
Back to feeling
[Verse 2]
Stopped replying
Let it ring
Let the messages pile up
Even laughter hurt my head
So I learned to empty out
You showed up with quiet eyes
Didn’t ask for any proof
Just sat down and shared the space
Like you’d known my private room
[Chorus]
I was gone
I was gone
Just breathing
Walking through a world I couldn’t feel
Like a ghost in my own skin
Leaving
Every heartbeat sealed in steel
Then you touched my sleeve so gently
Called my name like it meant something
You pulled me back to the ceiling
You brought me back
Back to feeling
[Bridge]
When your fingers traced my hand
I remembered being young
Fireworks behind my ribs
Heat returning to my lungs
Every word you didn’t say
Tore a window in the wall
Suddenly the air rushed in
Suddenly I felt it all (oh)
[Chorus]
I was gone
I was gone
Just breathing
Walking through a world I couldn’t feel
Like a ghost in my own skin
Leaving
Every heartbeat sealed in steel
Then you touched my sleeve so gently
Spoke my name like it meant something
Now the vacant rooms are healing
You brought me back
Back to feeling
You brought me back
Back to feeling
