Streetlights hum a lullaby
Half-drank tea gone cold beside
My reflection talks too much
Echoes louder than my touch
Silence wears my favorite shirt
Dust collects where you once were
Familiar ache but different eyes
This time I won’t apologize
Alone in the clear
I see me without fear
No shadows to drown in
Just light moving in
Alone in the clear
The air’s never been
So sharp and so sweet
Like waking from sleep
Mascara stains on pillowcase
Rewrite the script erase trace
Your voice fades from GPS
North is where I’m headed next
Silence wears my favorite shirt
Dust collects where you once were
Familiar ache but different eyes
This time I won’t apologize
Alone in the clear
I see me without fear
No shadows to drown in
Just light moving in
Alone in the clear
The air’s never been
So sharp and so sweet
Like waking from sleep
Rearview full of maybes
But the wheel’s in my hands now
White lines turn to waves
And I’m sailing somehow
Alone in the clear
I see me without fear
No shadows to drown in
Just light moving in
Alone in the clear
The air’s never been
So sharp and so sweet
Like waking from sleep
