[Intro]
Coat collar up
Street’s talkin, hush
Blue lights smear
Rain cuts like brush
[Verse 1]
Step through the tape, wet boots on the chalk
Puddle in the doorway, ghost in the talk
Gun on the floor with a lipstick smear
Whole room hummin, “you were just here”
Lamp swung once, froze mid-swing
Glass by the window, gold wedding ring
One broken heel by the toppled chair
Blood in a trail like it ran out of air
Clock on the wall stuck 10:03
TV glow sellin some cheap new dream
Fridge door cracked, buzz and whine
Take one breath, then rewind my mind
[Chorus]
Rain on yellow tape
I replay every frame in my brain
Every drop, every stain
Rain on yellow tape
I can see how it went, feel the pain
Hear the shot in the rain
Rain on yellow tape
Rain on yellow tape
[Verse 2]
He came in quiet, key didn’t scrape
Coat still warm, heart full of hate
Shadow on wallpaper, hand in his coat
Argument rising, caught in her throat
Her phone on the counter, name on the screen
Jealousy bloom like gasoline
She reach for the door, he block the way
Finger on metal, words ricochet
Bang. Body twist, red on white
Picture frame shatter, cut through night
Neighbor heard thunder, turned up shows
Didn’t know thunder was somebody’s soul
[Chorus]
[Bridge]
Rain taps code on a rusted sedan
Askin questions, I answer what I can
[low vocal register] “Was it love, was it rage, was it fear?” [/low vocal register]
All I got are the ghosts in here
Shadow of a hand on the faded wall
Echo of a scream that never made a call
I blink and the scene starts over again
I’m just walkin through someone else’s end
[Chorus]
