Verse 1
Barely five steps from the door
Don’t know which way I came
Quiet breath echoing off sheets
You might still be somewhere near
Pre-Chorus
The air moves, slow
Every board remembers where you walked
Chorus
Can you hear me—can you tell it’s me?
In these halls where the quiet grows thick as fog
I reach with empty hands, nothing gives
Every tap, every sound, still waiting for you
Verse 2
Metal shudders down the hall
Chill running underneath my skin
Names we never said in the dust
You always slip away just as I turn
Pre-Chorus
Night falls, low
Even the floor tries to keep your footsteps close
Chorus
Can you hear me—can you tell it’s me?
In these halls where the quiet grows thick as fog
I reach with empty hands, nothing gives
Every tap, every sound, still waiting for you
Breakdown
Footsteps, soft piano
Your echo fading at arm’s length, never gone
Wood groans under secrets I can’t name
If you turned, would you see me standing here?
Bridge
Somewhere past the noise—one more door, one more try
I listen for you in the pause between each note
Chorus
Can you hear me—can you tell it’s me?
In these halls where the quiet grows thick as fog
I reach with empty hands, nothing gives
Every tap, every sound, still waiting for you
Outro
Reverb-heavy piano, distant metallic bang
Still waiting for you
