[Verse 1]
The room still smells like cigarettes
And things I never got to say
Your shadow sleeps beside my bed
But you’re a million miles away
I hear your voice inside the walls
Like an old tape wearing thin
And every night I close my eyes
Just to let you back in
[Pre-Chorus]
I know I should let go
But I don’t know how to breathe
When every part of me
Is begging you to leave
[Chorus]
So come back through the static
Come back through the rain
Come back like you never left
And say you still feel the same
I don’t need you to save me
I just need you tonight
Come back through the darkness
And tell me I’m alright
[Verse 2]
I tried to drown your memory
In every song I ever wrote
But your name still lives inside my throat
Like a word I’ll never choke
Maybe I was never enough
Maybe you were never mine
But I’d trade every future I have
For one more night in that time
[Bridge — slow, distorted]
I know...
You can’t hear me...
But I still leave the door unlocked...
In case you ever...
Find your way back home...
[Final Chorus]
So come back through the static
Come back through the pain
I swear I’ll learn to hold you
Without holding you the same
I know I should forget you
But I’m not ready yet
So if you ever miss me...
Come back.
[Outro — whispered]
The room is still here...
The door is still open...
And somehow...
I’m still waiting.
