[Verse 1]
You left your coat on the kitchen chair
One sleeve still swinging though no wind’s there
The hallway clock skips every fourth beat
I count the silence beneath my feet
[Pre-Chorus]
You said the house was empty
So why’d the lock turn twice?
I see your shape in the glass
Then it smiles before I do
[Chorus]
There’s someone in the walls tonight
Keeping time with the pipes
I shut my eyes, I hear you breathe
A little closer every time I leave
Someone in the walls tonight
Knows the words I never write
If I run, it follows through
And every door leads back to you
[Verse 2]
The bathroom mirror fogs from the side
A finger draws a name, then wipes it dry
Your old key’s warm in the frozen sink
I hear the floorboards answer when I blink
[Pre-Chorus]
You said the house was empty
You swore I’d be all right
But something’s at the doorway
And it knows I’m awake
[Chorus]
There’s someone in the walls tonight
Keeping time with the pipes
I shut my eyes, I hear you breathe
A little closer every time I leave
Someone in the walls tonight
Knows the words I never write
If I run, it follows through
And every door leads back to you
[Bridge]
Don’t say my name
Don’t touch the light
I hear your shoes
On the stairs tonight
I hold my breath
You hold yours too
Then from the closet
I hear you say, “Come through”
[Final Chorus]
There’s someone in the walls tonight
Keeping time with the pipes
I shut my eyes, I hear you breathe
A little closer every time I leave
Someone in the walls tonight
Knows the words I never write
If I run, it follows through
And every door leads back to you
[Outro]
The house is quiet
The clock is right
Your coat is gone
I’m not alone tonight
