Still Waiting for the Echo

​Intro:
The room is cold, the lights are fading low
I watch the clock, I watch the seasons go
I try to call, but I forget the phone
It’s hard to face the night all on my own

​Verse 1:
I see your face in every passing car
I wonder where you are, if you’re too far
To hear me calling out your name again
A broken heart that never seems to mend
The shadows dance upon the dusty floor
I’m waiting for your knock upon the door

​Hook:
I’m still waiting for the echo of your heartbeat
In the silence of the room we used to share
Every shadow on the wall looks like your shadow
I’m breathing in the ghost of you, but you’re not there

​Verse 2:
The memories are playing on a loop
I’m falling down, I’m jumping through the hoop
To find a way to get back to your side
With nowhere left for all my tears to hide
The stars above have lost their silver glow
Since you decided it was time to go

​Hook:
I’m still waiting for the echo of your heartbeat
In the silence of the room we used to share
Every shadow on the wall looks like your shadow
I’m breathing in the ghost of you, but you’re not there

​Verse 3:
The streets are empty and the sky is grey
I’m counting hours since you went away
I keep the light on just in case you knock
But time is frozen on our broken clock
I try to breathe but air is getting tight
I’m searching for your spirit in the night

​Bridge:
If I could turn the hands of time
I’d make you stay, I’d make you mine
But now the echo is the only friend I find
I’m left behind with memories in my mind

​Hook:
I’m still waiting for the echo of your heartbeat
In the silence of the room we used to share
Every shadow on the wall looks like your shadow
I’m breathing in the ghost of you, but you’re not there
