Prompt / Lyrics
[Verse 1] You’re still in that old grey sweater Frozen in a doorway in my head Every word I didn’t say back then Keeps dragging me out of bed I rehearse the dumbest answers To questions you won’t ever ask Talk like you’re just down the street Then remember that’s the past [Chorus] This is the last time saying your name out loud Like you’re walking back through this empty town You’re the almost The almost I never outran I talk like you’re here But you’re someone I’ll never see again Never see again [Verse 2] I still check that dead account Scroll a ghost that doesn’t scroll back All our photos in a hidden folder Like contraband I can’t unpack Everyone says time means healing But the clock just stares me down Every year I get a little older You stay twenty in this town [Chorus] This is the last time saying your name out loud Like you’re walking back through this empty town You’re the almost The almost I never outran I talk like you’re here But you’re someone I’ll never see again Never see again [Bridge] If I see you in a crowd I’ll know it’s just my brain (playing tricks again) If you ever say my name I’ll know I’m dreaming it (wake up, wake up) [Chorus] This is the last time saying your name out loud Like you’re walking back through this empty town You’re the almost The almost I never outran I talk like you’re here But you’re someone I’ll never see again Someone I’ll never see again (never see again, never see again)

rock, Slow-building emo-punk ballad starting with clean palm-muted guitars and male vocals barely above a whisper, then exploding into a wide, distorted wall of sound on the chorus. Drums move from sparse rim hits to crashing half-time groove, with gritty bass anchoring the low end. Choruses bring gang vocals and octave lead lines, bridge strips down to vocal and guitar before a final full-band shout-along outro., emo, ballad, punk
