You were laughing in the hallway
Neon wristband on your arm
I was trying not to notice
How your chaos felt like calm
Every story that you told me
Sounded bright and slightly wrong
You said
“Nothing lasts forever”
But you stayed there all night long
So I'm chasing the echo
Of a moment you forgot
Dancing through the afterglow
Of a night that you did not
I keep running in this rhythm
You keep slipping out of sight
I'm just chasing the echo
Chasing the echo of that night (oh)
You were drawing on the table
Little stars around my name
Said you'd call me in the morning
Then the morning never came
Now I scroll through faded pictures
Like a movie I misread
Every caption feels like fiction
But it's loud inside my head
So I'm chasing the echo
Of a moment you forgot
Dancing through the afterglow
Of a night that you did not
I keep running in this rhythm
You keep slipping out of sight
I'm just chasing the echo
Chasing the echo of that night
Did you ever really see me
Or just shadows on the wall
I was waiting in the doorway
You were somewhere down the hall
If I meet you in another life
Will you turn and say my name
Or will I still be behind you
Running circles through the haze
Still I'm chasing the echo
Of a moment you forgot
Dancing through the afterglow
Of a night that you did not
I keep running in this rhythm
You keep slipping out of sight
I'm just chasing the echo
Chasing the echo of that night (that night)
Chasing the echo
Till the echo turns to light
