You left your mark on the wall
Burned in, line by line
I trace the edge with my thumb
Like I could rewind the time
Your empty cup on the sill
Still warm from your hand
I keep the door half shut
Like you might come back again
And it keeps on talking
In the cracked-up frame
Every little corner
Still says your name
Scorched echo, scorched echo
You fade, but you don’t let go
Scorched echo, scorched echo
Still ringing through my bones
Scorched echo, scorched echo
I try, but I already know
Scorched echo, scorched echo
You burn where you used to go
The red on the matchbook
Stained my jacket sleeve
I smell that smoky summer
When you said you'd leave
Now the house is all shadows
And the sink won't drain
But every time I move on
You come back with the flame
And it keeps on talking
In the cracked-up frame
Every little corner
Still says your name
Scorched echo, scorched echo
You fade, but you don’t let go
Scorched echo, scorched echo
Still ringing through my bones
Scorched echo, scorched echo
I try, but I already know
Scorched echo, scorched echo
You burn where you used to go
If I paint over the marks
Would you still shine through?
If I shut every window
Would I still hear you?
Scorched echo, scorched echo
You fade, but you don’t let go
Scorched echo, scorched echo
Still ringing through my bones
Scorched echo, scorched echo
I try, but I already know
Scorched echo, scorched echo
You burn where you used to go
