(Verse 1)
The streetlights flicker in a rhythm I don’t know
Watching the cars and the city-light glow
I’m sitting on the porch while the world goes soft
Counting all the dreams that we launched aloft
There’s a hum in the wire, a buzz in the air
But when I turn around, there’s nobody there.
(Pre-Chorus)
It isn't a storm, it’s just a gray sky
The kind of"okay" that feels like a lie
It’s a low-tide heart, pulling back from the shore.
(Chorus)
It’s a distant quiet ache, like a bell far away
The ghost of a word that I forgot how to say
It doesn’t scream for mercy, it doesn't beg for a change
It just makes the familiar feel heavy and strange
Like a song in the distance, barely catching the tune
It’s a cold, pale light from a half-hidden moon.
(Verse 2)
I fold the laundry and I make the green tea
Trying to remember who I used to be
Before the silence got so loud in the hall
Before the pictures started leaning on the wall
I’m moving through water, I’m walking through haze
Lost in the map of these colorless days.
(Chorus)
It’s a distant quiet ache, like a bell far away
The ghost of a word that I forgot how to say
It doesn’t scream for mercy, it doesn't beg for a change
It just makes the familiar feel heavy and strange
Like a song in the distance, barely catching the tune
It’s a cold, pale light from a half-hidden moon.
(Bridge)
And I’m not even sad, not in the way people think
I’m just standing on the edge, watching the sunset sink
It’s a peaceful kind of lonely, a hollow kind of deep
The kind of secret that a heartbeat keeps.
(Chorus)
Yeah, it’s a distant quiet ache, like a bell far away
The ghost of a word that I forgot how to say
It doesn’t scream for mercy, it doesn't beg for a change
It just makes the familiar feel heavy and strange
Like a song in the distance, barely catching the tune
It’s a cold, pale light from a half-hidden moon.
(Outro)
Just a hum...
Just a shadow on the floor...
I don't mind the quiet...
I just mind it a little more.
