Every Last Echo Fades Slowly (version 2)

Verse

Your hand in mine on the sidewalk gray

Where the streetlights end and the city fades away

You said stay here for another year

I knew the moment I'd rather be elsewhere

Pre-Chorus

But then why do the ghosts of every place we've been

Feel like they're waiting here inside me still, inside me still

Chorus

Every last echo fades slowly

Leaving nothing but this hollow and this sky

Every door that locked behind us

Now is just a memory that won't say goodbye

Verse 2

Your smile in a photograph I keep by the door

A summer breeze we never got to explore

You said maybe someday you'll come back home

I said I'll be right here, counting every one of your gone

Pre-Chorus

But then why do the ghosts of every place we've been

Feel like they're waiting here inside me still, inside me still

Chorus

Every last echo fades slowly

Leaving nothing but this hollow and this sky

Every door that locked behind us

Now is just a memory that won't say goodbye

Bridge

Not because I'm holding on to you

But because that's where our story used to be

And maybe someday someone will understand the way it feels

Chorus

Every last echo fades slowly

Leaving nothing but this hollow and this sky

Every door that locked behind us

Now is just a memory that won't say goodbye
