Acoustic guitar plucks slowly]Streetlights bleed through the bedroom blindsCasting shadows in the shape of linesI’m making coffee for a party of oneThe morning paper, and the day’s already doneI water the plants just to watch something growBut the silence is the only thing moving slow(Chorus)[Drums and a low bass kick in]And I’m floating like a ghost in the denCounting the hours, waiting for thenBut "then" never comes, it just circles the roomTrading my sunshine for a little bit of gloomYeah, it’s just me and the hum of the fridgeStanding at the edge of my own little bridge(Verse 2)[Electric guitar melody enters, echoey and spaced out]I saw our old friends at the diner todayTalking 'bout jobs and the bills they gotta payI smiled and I nodded, I played the whole partBut I’m a stranger in my own beating heartI walked back home through the autumn breezeWith my hands in my pockets, and my keys on my knees(Chorus)[Full band swell, harmonies in the background]And I’m floating like a ghost in the denCounting the hours, waiting for thenBut "then" never comes, it just circles the roomTrading my sunshine for a little bit of gloomYeah, it’s just me and the hum of the fridgeStanding at the edge of my own little bridge(Bridge)[Music strips back to just the acoustic guitar and vocal]They say that nobody's an island, at allBut I’m staring at the water, staring at the wallMaybe the solitude isn't a curseMaybe it’s just a line in a different verseLearning to dance with the quiet spaceFinding the peace in an empty place(Guitar Solo)[Slow, melodic, bending notes—lots of reverb](Chorus)[Full instrumentation, passionate but restrained]Still, I’m floating like a ghost in the denCounting the hours, waiting for thenBut "then" never comes, it just circles the roomTrading my sunshine for a little bit of gloomYeah, it’s just me and the hum of the fridgeI'm making my peace on this side of the bridge(Outro)[Music fades slowly, leaving just the acoustic guitar]Just the hum of the fridge…Learning to breathe.Yeah, it’s just me…And it’s okay to just be.[Final gentle strum fades into the quiet]
