[Verse 1] Coffee gone cold on the counter Ink bleeding out of a list I won't do You said you were fine Then you folded Like a letter you never meant to send through Your coat's still hanging by the doorway Dust in the sleeves Like it’s waiting on you I talk to the walls when it’s quiet They answer in echo They sound just like you [Chorus] I keep your ashes on the window Let the morning draw your outline in the dust Every sunrise feels like begging For a version of us I can trust I keep your ashes on the window Watching everything we promised slowly rust I’m screaming at the sky you left behind But it never answers back about us [Verse 2] I drive past the house where we started White paint peeling like the year that we broke Your laugh in the yard Then the sirens Then silence that settled in my throat Friends say I "seem a lot better" They don't see me counting all the ways I’m not Wearing your shirt in the kitchen Pretending I’m someone you never forgot [Chorus] I keep your ashes on the window Let the morning draw your outline in the dust Every sunrise feels like begging For a version of us I can trust I keep your ashes on the window Watching everything we promised slowly rust I’m screaming at the sky you left behind But it never answers back about us [Bridge] Did you find that quiet you were chasing? (yeah) Did the weight finally fall from your hands? 'Cause I'm here with the ghosts and the spaces Trying to forgive what I don't understand [Chorus] I keep your ashes on the window Let the morning draw your outline in the dust Every sunrise feels like begging For a version of us I can trust I keep your ashes on the window Watching everything we promised slowly rust And I'll keep breaking on this bedroom floor Till I learn to let go of us

rock, Thick, warm overdriven guitars with a 90s alt-rock crunch; verses ride a clean-but-gritty picked pattern with close, breathy male vocals. Quiet-to-loud build: drums and bass creep in halfway through Verse 1, bloom into a huge, open-strummed, shout-along chorus with stacked harmonies. Bridge drops almost to a whisper, tom-heavy swell into a final, explosive chorus, vocals on the edge of breaking., dynamic, loud, alternative rock, grunge, soulful, warm
