Midnight Echoes

词:VEXIS 曲:VEXIS I see your shadow on my ceiling when the lights are low A silent movie playing from a week ago I’m scrolling through the messages I know I shouldn’t read A ghost inside my phone, a familiar kind of need The city’s sleeping quiet, but my mind is on rewind Replaying every second that I left behind Tracing all the patterns of the things we used to be Before the “us” got lost inside the noise, you see And I know I should let go, I know I should move on But every empty silence proves that you are gone I’m chasing that old feeling through the static in my head Whispering the words I should have said ‘Cause I hear your echo in the midnight, in the quiet of my room A melody that lingers, chasing away the gloom And I’m holding onto memories like photographs that fade Trying to rewrite the ending of the story that we made Yeah, I hear your echo in the midnight, a whisper in the air A reminder of a love that’s no longer there I’m just dancing with the ghost of you tonight In the pale, blue, lonely light I drive the streets we wandered, past the places that we knew A tourist in a city that still only speaks of you The coffee shop, the park bench, the corner where we’d meet Now they’re just empty stages on a solitary street I wear your old t-shirt like a second, faded skin A relic of a battle that I know I’ll never win And every song that plays just seems to know my secret name A soundtrack to a never-ending, silent, gentle flame ‘Cause I hear your echo in the midnight, in the quiet of my room A melody that lingers, chasing away the gloom And I’m holding onto memories like photographs that fade Trying to rewrite the ending of the story that we made Yeah, I hear your echo in the midnight, a whisper in the air A reminder of a love that’s no longer there I’m just dancing with the ghost of you tonight In the pale, blue, lonely light Maybe love’s just an echo, maybe we were never clear Just two vibrations fading, never meant to persevere But in the quiet and the darkness, in the spaces in between I swear I hear you calling from a place I’ve never been And I’ll keep listening, I’ll keep searching through the sound ‘Cause even just the echo means you might still be around Midnight echo… Just a whisper in the air… Just the ghost of you somewhere…
