[Intro]
Tick-tock
Clock on the wall, just a prop
Old pics in a box, still talk
Shadows on the floor don’t stop (nah)
[Verse 1]
Used to bike through town ‘til the sky turned wine
You were laughing on the back, hands over my eyes
We were stealing little moments like they’d never run dry
Didn’t know they were gold ‘til they passed me by
Now I scroll through nights that we left on read
Glow from the screen where your head once slept
Every “forever” that we said in sweat
Still echo in a room where the lights go dead
[Pre-Chorus]
Tell me why the past keeps calling my name
Every corner that I turn, I see your frame
We were drawing endless hearts in the rain
Now it’s just
[Chorus]
Shadows out of time
Dancing on the wall like we’re still alive
Memories collide
You and I frozen in the afterlife
If everything ends
Why does it feel like you’re still here with me
Love don’t know the line
Between now, then, and eternity (oh)
Shadows out of time
[Verse 2]
Got your coat still hanging by the front door hook
Half-full cup, same page in your favorite book
Little notes in the margins, all inside jokes
I can hear your voice hiding in the quiet smoke
I’ve been running from the places that we turned to fire
Every backstreet bar, every late-night choir
But the beat comes in and your face appears
You’re the ghost in the glow, cutting through these years
[Pre-Chorus]
Tell me why the past keeps calling my name
Every chorus that I hear, I feel the flame
We were playing like the world couldn’t break
Now it’s just
[Chorus]
Shadows out of time
Dancing on the wall like we’re still alive
Memories collide
You and I frozen in the afterlife
If everything ends
Why does it feel like you’re still here with me
Love don’t know the line
Between now, then, and eternity (yeah)
Shadows out of time
[Bridge]
If this is all that we ever get
Little flashes in a glass, little half-lit steps
I’ll rewind, press play, let the night reset
You’re a lifetime loop in my head, my head (hey!)
If this world fades, if the sky goes blank
If the stars burn out and the oceans drain
I’ll still find you where the echoes hang
In the space between the seconds that we never named
[Chorus]
Shadows out of time
Dancing on the wall like we’re still alive
Memories collide
You and I frozen in the afterlife
If everything ends
Why does it feel like you’re still here with me
Love don’t know the line
Between now, then, and eternity
Shadows out of time
