[Verse 1]
Left my phone face down
Ceiling paint peeling like clouds
Mug ring on the nightstand
Cold tea
One sock on the ground

Timeline keeps on screaming
But the room stays barely loud
Just the fan and my breathing
And a song I never turn up proud

[Chorus]
I get lost in the low light
Fading in the window glow
Scrolling through the same old silence
Like there’s someplace else to go
Every name in my contacts
Still I’m coming home alone
I get lost in the low light
In this empty room I call my own

[Verse 2]
Half-read books on the dresser
Pages folded where I quit
All the plans I swore I’d follow
Pinned and drifting in the drift

Neighbors laugh through the drywall
Somebody found their kind of safe
I just draw these little circles
On the dust
To pass the weight

[Chorus]

[Bridge]
Maybe I’m the ghost here
Faint outline on the chair
Talking to the air again
Like someone might be there
If I left the door unlocked
Would anybody come inside?
Or just the hallway shadows
Stretching
Telling me they tried

[Chorus]
