I found a Polaroid from '22 it's faded
Your red flannel's hanging on the back of my door
The way you laughed at midnight in the kitchen
Haunts me like a ghost that I keep wanting more
The streetlights flicker through the windowpane
I trace your shadow on the bedroom wall
We made a promise in the pouring rain
Now summer turns to winter and I'm still here falling
And every single time I hear your name
The colors start to blur the rules start to change
I catch myself before I pick up the phone
But the light keeps fading and I'm never going home
Oh this falling light
It burns me through the night
Like embers dancing in the cold
Like stories that we'll never hold
You were the sunrise now you're just the dusk
And I'm still here running out of luck
Yeah I loved you in the day
But I hate the way
This falling light won't fade away
Your jacket's on the floor it still smells like rain
The coffee mug we shared I haven't washed it yet
I drive past your house at quarter to three again
Wondering if you think about me—have I already left
The playlist we made ends on track seven
The one where you said you'd never let me go
Now I'm scrolling through our messages in heaven
Wondering if we'll ever let each other know
And every single time I hear your name
The colors start to blur the rules start to change
I catch myself before I pick up the phone
But the light keeps fading and I'm never going home
Oh this falling light
It burns me through the night
Like embers dancing in the cold
Like stories that we'll never hold
You were the sunrise now you're just the dusk
And I'm still here running out of luck
Yeah I loved you in the day
But I hate the way
This falling light won't fade away
I swear I saw your face in every crowd
I swear I heard your voice through every song
And maybe some lights were never meant to last
But why does this one feel so wrong
So wrong
Oh this falling light
It burns me through the night
Like embers dancing in the cold
Like stories that we'll never hold
You were the sunrise now you're just the dusk
And I'm still here running out of luck
Yeah I loved you in the day
But I hate the way
This falling light won't fade away
(Falling light falling light)
It's not the sun
It's just a memory of one
