[Intro]
[Verse]
Left the porch light on for nobody
Just a habit I can’t seem to break
Found your coffee cup in the cabinet
And it’s more than my composure can take
I keep looking for the silver lining
But the clouds are looking heavy and gray
Trying to find a way to stop the timing
From dragging me through another day
[Pre-Chorus]
The silence is a heavy weight
Hanging in the hallway air
I’m learning how to navigate
A house with an empty chair
[Chorus]
Now I’m dancing with the ghost of us
In the middle of the kitchen floor
Trying to remember how it was
Before you headed for the door
It’s a bittersweet melody
Playing on a broken string
You’re the only piece of me
That I’m still missing
[Verse]
Saw your sister at the grocery
She didn’t know exactly what to say
So we talked about the local weather
And how the summer’s slipping away
I almost asked her how you’re doing
But the words got tangled in my teeth
I’m tired of all the constant proving
That I’m doing fine underneath
[Pre-Chorus]
The silence is a heavy weight
Hanging in the hallway air
I’m learning how to navigate
A house with an empty chair
[Chorus]
Now I’m dancing with the ghost of us
In the middle of the kitchen floor
Trying to remember how it was
Before you headed for the door
It’s a bittersweet melody
Playing on a broken string
You’re the only piece of me
That I’m still missing
[Bridge]
Maybe I’ll rearrange the furniture
Maybe I’ll paint the bedroom blue
Anything to change the architecture
Of a life built around you
I’m letting go of the hand I can’t hold
Taking a step on my own
[Guitar Solo]
[Chorus]
Now I’m dancing with the ghost of us
In the middle of the kitchen floor
Trying to remember how it was
Before you headed for the door
It’s a bittersweet melody
Playing on a broken string
You’re the only piece of me
That I’m still missingStill missing
Yeah, I’m still missing
Just a habit I can’t break
Turning off the light
Goodnight
