(Verse 1)
The morning light is leaning cold against the wall,
I’m waiting for a shadow that’s no longer in the hall.
I’ve tried to rearrange the rooms and change the scent of tea,
But every empty corner looks exactly like you to me.
They say the world is full of hands just waiting for a hold,
But I’m still shivering in a story already told.
(Chorus)
I’m drifting through the wreckage of a shattered plan,
Trying to be a woman who can stand without her man.
But the stars keep aligning to the shape of your name,
And I’m burning in the embers of a dying flame.
I don’t want a new beginning or a helping hand,
I’m anchored to the silent place where we used to land.
Through the lonely years and the shifting sand,
You’re Still My Man I Need.
(Verse 2)
Your old work boots are collecting dust by the stair,
I can’t bring myself to move them or pretend they aren't there.
I talk to the ceiling in the middle of the night,
Searching for the rhythm of your breathing to make it right.
It’s a quiet kind of torture, a slow and steady ache,
How much absence can one beating heart take?
(Bridge)
I’m clinging to a ghost that doesn't have a face,
Running breathless in a one-way race.
Let the seasons turn and the world proceed,
You’re Still My Man I Need.
(Chorus)
Yeah, I’m drifting through the wreckage of a shattered plan,
Trying to be a woman who can stand without her man.
But the stars keep aligning to the shape of your name,
And I’m burning in the embers of a dying flame.
I don’t want a new beginning or a helping hand,
I’m anchored to the silent place where we used to land.
Through the lonely years and the shifting sand,
You’re Still My Man I Need.
(Outro)
Fading...
Just a shimmer in the dark.
Just the echo of a heart.
Still mine...
Still you.
Still My Man I Need.
