[Verse 1]
I count your steps
What noise hums inside my headphones
My voice fades, my courage slips
Words go cold upon my lips
[Pre-Chorus]
Your long shadow on the wall
Reaches farther than I can
You don't know my name at all
You don't even know I'm there
In my notebook, line by line
I keep drawing you the same
Then I tear the pages out
Trying not to say your name
[Chorus]
Maybe if I turn off the light
You'll come closer
No, no, no
Maybe if I fade from your sight
You'll wonder where I go
Let the old tape play it slow
Just remember I was here
When the room turns cold and still
I'll already disappear
[Verse 2]
I know the way
You cross the room without looking my way
Every little thing you do
Is something I replay
[Pre-Chorus]
I keep waiting for a sign
That was never really there
Still I catch myself believing
You might suddenly care
All the words I never said
Keep collecting in my head
So I leave them on the page
With the things I should forget
[Chorus]
Maybe if I turn off the light
You'll come closer
No, no, no
Maybe if I fade from your sight
You'll wonder where I go
Let the old tape play it slow
Just remember I was here
When the room turns cold and still
I'll already disappear
[Outro]
When you walk away, I stay
In the dark and fade to gray
I can hold your shadow close
Till the light starts to decay
I was here
I was here
You never knew
I was here
