COME BACK THROUGH THE STATIC

The room still smells like cigarettes

And things I never got to say

Your shadow sleeps beside my bed

But you’re a million miles away

I hear your voice inside the walls

Like an old tape wearing thin

And every night I close my eyes

Just to let you back in

I know I should let go

But I don’t know how to breathe

When every part of me

Is begging you to leave

So come back through the static

Come back through the rain

Come back like you never left

And say you still feel the same

I don’t need you to save me

I just need you tonight

Come back through the darkness

And tell me I’m alright

I tried to drown your memory

In every song I ever wrote

But your name still lives inside my throat

Like a word I’ll never choke

Maybe I was never enough

Maybe you were never mine

But I’d trade every future I have

For one more night in that time

I know...

You can’t hear me...

But I still leave the door unlocked...

In case you ever...

Find your way back home...

So come back through the static

Come back through the pain

I swear I’ll learn to hold you

Without holding you the same

I know I should forget you

But I’m not ready yet

So if you ever miss me...

Come back.

The room is still here...

The door is still open...

And somehow...

I’m still waiting.
