Rattle the Room (version 2)

Verse

Empty coffee cup, corner booth still warm

Receipt tape curling up against my thumb

Last goodbyes written in the salt and dust

Every mile that's moving counts as trust

Pre-Chorus

So here it is, this hollow feeling

Halfway gone before I knew it was real

I'm holding onto nothing but the road ahead

Chorus

Rattle the room until something starts to lift

Barefoot on the dashboard through the first light

Rattle the room, shake every shadow loose tonight

This empty ache is just an engine waiting to ignite

Rattle the room, let it all come crashing out of me

Verse

Gas station lights like diamonds in the dark

Radio static turning into a spark

I left your number folded up beneath my seat

Now I'm humming louder than I used to meet

Pre-Chorus

So here it is, this hollow feeling

Halfway gone before I knew it was real

I'm holding onto nothing but the road ahead

Chorus

Rattle the room until something starts to lift

Barefoot on the dashboard through the first light

Rattle the room, shake every shadow loose tonight

This empty ache is just an engine waiting to ignite

Rattle the room, let it all come crashing out of me

Bridge

Maybe breaking isn't falling apart at all

Maybe it's just learning how to walk after a fall

So I'm keeping my chin up against the wind

Every echo that comes back is already mine again

Chorus

Rattle the room until something starts to lift

Barefoot on the dashboard through the first light

Rattle the room, shake every shadow loose tonight

This empty ache is just an engine waiting to ignite

Rattle the room, let it all come crashing out of me
