Last One Out

[Verse 1]
Doorframe’s got our heights in pen
Tiny lines, every year, every bend
Mom’s notes on the fridge turned brown
That dent in the wall where I finally stood my ground
[Chorus]
Last one out, kill the light
Leave the ghosts to their quiet little fights
This roof held every version of my name
I’m walking off the map, but I still feel the frame
Last one out, let it be
All the echoes are burning holes in me
I’m locking up a life I can’t replace
Goodbye to the house that built my face
[Verse 2]
Driveway chalk, half-washed by rain
First cigarette, first rush, first shame
My old room still smells like paint
Posters peeled, but the outline stays
[Chorus]
Last one out, kill the light
Leave the ghosts to their quiet little fights
This roof held every version of my name
I’m walking off the map, but I still feel the frame
Last one out, let it be
All the echoes are burning holes in me
I’m locking up a life I can’t replace
Goodbye to the house that built my face
[Bridge]
I touch the banister, hear my father swear
Then laugh so hard he shakes the stairs (oh)
Kitchen floor knows every fall I took
Every slammed plate, every second look
I thought walls were forever, I was wrong
They’re just witnesses humming old songs
[Chorus]
Last one out, kill the light
Leave the ghosts to their quiet little fights
This roof held every version of my name
I’m walking off the map, but I still feel the frame
Last one out, let it be
All the echoes are burning holes in me
I’m locking up a life I can’t replace
Goodbye to the house
That built my face

rock, Gritty heartland rock ballad with deep male vocals; clean electric arpeggios in the verses, drums entering gradually. Big, wide choruses with overdriven guitars and low harmony doubles on the lead. Bridge strips to vocal + tremolo guitar, then full-band swell into a final, shouted chorus and ringing outro chords., deep
