TRACK 01Stay Right Here

Tracing the Glass

3:14

I waited by the window all day
Watching the shadows stretch and play
Static on the radio fading in and out
Something about the way you turned around
Without a sound without a doubt
Just a silhouette carved in gray

Oh the clock hands are rusted stuck in the past
Nothing this fragile was meant to last
Tracing the glass with a fingertip
A jagged memory a sinking ship
I’m still here darling can’t you see?
Staring at the ghost of a used-to-be

The tea has gone cold a bitter brew
I keep the chair pulled out for you
Patterns in the dust on the floor
I don’t remember why I keep the key in the door
Just a habit I suppose a worn-out seam
Caught in the middle of a waking dream

Oh the clock hands are rusted stuck in the past
Nothing this fragile was meant to last
Tracing the glass with a fingertip
A jagged memory a sinking ship
I’m still here darling can’t you see?
Staring at the ghost of a used-to-be

They say time is a river that pulls you away
But I’m a stone at the bottom of the bay
I have all the words neatly arranged in rows
Waiting for a wind that never blows
I smile because the tears grew tired of the view
They packed their bags and left just like you

Stuck in the amber preserved in the light
Just one more moment one more night
It’s getting dark the city’s asleep
I have a million promises I couldn't keep
Just a cat in the window watching the rain
Tracing the glass...
Tracing the pain
