Hollowed into light (versione 2)

Verse

Rust on the gate where you used to climb

Worn concrete that never lost its shine

You left your shadow in the dust we used to chase

I keep coming back for what's already past

The sun cuts through the gap between these two old houses now

Finds the places where our bodies once turned around

Pre-Chorus

If every ghost I'm still running from is made of light

Then how can I let this go without a fight

Chorus

You hollowed out my name into the neon sign

Burning bright against all the years that slipped on through

I'm chasing the shadow you left behind

Following the light where our hearts used to be, be

Every window that we broke is now a mirror glass

Reflecting everything I never knew to ask for at last

Verse

Your fingers traced the crack in the wall where stars are made

Now every room I enter feels like that same place

You left me with your own shadow of a name

I'm still trying to find its way, still the same

Every door we walked through has been locked and remade

But in my chest there's something you can't take out or trade

Pre-Chorus

If every ghost I'm still running from is made of light

Then how can I let this go without a fight

Chorus

You hollowed out my name into the neon sign

Burning bright against all the years that slipped on through

I'm chasing the shadow you left behind

Following the light where our hearts used to be, be

Every window that we broke is now a mirror glass

Reflecting everything I never knew to ask for at last

Bridge

Maybe this isn't leaving or goodbye

Maybe it's just finding a different sky

The city doesn't care what name you carry on your chest

Only if your light stays shining, even when the rest

Let me be the one who keeps that fire burning bright

Not because of you but for the way the light still holds tonight

Chorus

You hollowed out my name into the neon sign

Burning bright against all the years that slipped on through

I'm chasing the shadow you left behind

Following the light where our hearts used to be, be

Every window that we broke is now a mirror glass

Reflecting everything I never knew to ask for at last
