Every Empty Street

Intro

Snow on the windowsill

City breathing slow

Verse 1

Frost on my windshield like a map I still don't know

Radio playing static where the static turns to gold

Empty seats at the diner booth that we used to share

Every block looks brand new, but something's still right there

Pre-Chorus

Maybe it's okay if nothing feels the same

Maybe this is just December learning my name

Maybe quiet nights are loud enough now

Maybe I don't need to find you somehow

Chorus

I'm walking every empty street like it's already home

Every storefront that says closed still hums a lonely tone

This is the season of nothing, and somehow I'm not afraid

Cause everything I've been waiting for was here all along

Verse 2

Mall lights turn off but my pulse stays steady and bright

Coffee shop door swings open like it's saying 'good morning light

A stranger humming low on a bus that never runs late

Every goodbye turns into just a doorway to wait

Pre-Chorus

Maybe it's okay if nothing feels the same

Maybe this is just December learning my name

Maybe quiet nights are loud enough now

Maybe I don't need to find you somehow

Chorus

I'm walking every empty street like it's already home

Every storefront that says closed still hums a lonely tone

This is the season of nothing, and somehow I'm not afraid

Cause everything I've been waiting for was here all along

Bridge

Snowflakes keep falling soft where our footsteps used to land

Maybe this year won't be like every other one planned

I don't need your hand through mine right now — just the quiet we own

Some endings feel like beginnings when they learn to call home

Chorus

I'm walking every empty street like it's already home

Every storefront that says closed still hums a lonely tone

This is the season of nothing, and somehow I'm not afraid

Cause everything I've been waiting for was here all along
