Last Night’s Echo

You left your sweater on my chair

Coffee ring still on the page

Your lipstick on that water glass

Our ghosts doing laps in this place

I keep talking to the doorway

Like you might walk through

Every shadow in this hallway

Wears your shoes

You’re the last night’s echo

Ringing in my ribs

Every empty second

Spelling what I miss

I reach for the light

But I’m holding your shadow

I’m still singing to the silence

To last night’s echo

I play the movie in my head

Paused right before you turned away

I hear you breathe

I hear you break

Then it cuts

And I’m wide awake

I keep chasing every footstep

Down this crooked floor

Every wind against the window

Feels like you at the door

You’re the last night’s echo

Ringing in my ribs

Every empty second

Spelling what I miss

I reach for the light

But I’m holding your shadow

I’m still singing to the silence

To last night’s echo

If you called me at 3 in the morning (hey)

I’d be out that door

If you wrote “are you still there?”

I’d write back “always

Always more”

You’re the last night’s echo

Ringing in my ribs

Every empty second

Spelling what I miss

I reach for the light

But I’m holding your shadow

I’m still singing to the silence

To last night’s echo

To last night’s echo (oh)

To last night’s echo
