The Slowest Mile（版本 2）

Verse

I woke up to a silence that I used to run through

Your shadow's gone from my doorframe like it never held you

I put your coffee down where you left it last time

The milk's still fresh but nothing stays on schedule when you're not around

I'm folding up the blanket off our favorite armchair

Every thread keeps telling a story that I should remember I care

Pre-Chorus

So why does the quiet feel like it's moving in

And my chest is holding on to something it can't win?

Chorus

This house remembers what we were before you left

I'm still living inside the space where our love was kept

The slowest mile I've ever walked starts right here at the door

Every heartbeat is counting down till you walk back in again

I don't want your things but I need something that's true

Verse

Your sneakers are gone from the step outside, that's a start

But every time I look up it feels like we're still right there in the dark

The window still frames the sunset just how you liked to see it

And when I turn out the light your smile is still shining on me

Pre-Chorus

So why does the quiet feel like it's moving in

And my chest is holding on to something it can't win?

Chorus

This house remembers what we were before you left

I'm still living inside the space where our love was kept

The slowest mile I've ever walked starts right here at the door

Every heartbeat is counting down till you walk back in again

I don't want your things but I need something that's true

Bridge

Maybe home isn't a place, maybe it's just this feeling

Of still being able to find my way when every room keeps telling me you're not here

So I'll keep walking through these empty rooms with my eyes open wide

Hoping someday you come back and we can be the first ones inside

Chorus

This house remembers what we were before you left

I'm still living inside the space where our love was kept

The slowest mile I've ever walked starts right here at the door

Every heartbeat is counting down till you walk back in again

I don't want your things but I need something that's true

Outro

So this house remembers, I'll keep on keeping time

Waiting for the day when we move back inside
