Prompt / Lyrics
[Verse 1] I float through the hallway Coffee cup on the crooked shelf Lipstick stain from the day I left Still bright You pass through my shadow Keys in hand Staring at your phone Say my name in a tired tone To the night [Chorus] These are rooms that don’t remember Hands that never feel my hands I am calling But it’s all weather Blowing through your quiet plans I press my face against your shoulder You just shiver Pull away I thought grief would end when I got older Didn’t know I went that day [Verse 2] I ride the old bus route Window fog Tracing out your face Every turn Every tired place Learned by heart Our song in the café Plays too loud from a rusted screen You don’t look where I used to lean Torn apart [Chorus] These are rooms that don’t remember Hands that never feel my hands I am calling But it’s all weather Blowing through your quiet plans I press my face against your shoulder You just shiver Pull away I thought grief would end when I got older Didn’t know I went that day [Bridge] At the mirror over your bedroom drawer No reflection Just the open door All the flowers on that photograph Blackened eyes And a stranger’s laugh The framed date carved like a quiet crime I’ve been gone such a long Long time (oh) It was me It was me all this time [Chorus] These are rooms that never knew me Places emptied of my name You kept reaching for the old me Till the air and I became the same I press my face against your shoulder Whisper “Love It’s okay” You can let me go Grow colder I already went that day
