lyrics

So can I put my key into this
aging lock on this
seventh numbered door
when I don’t pick up the phone?
(I’m alone)
And I call when you’re not home?

(You’re still there)
I am neither here nor there,
and I watch as these things
they still don’t change.
Will you let me reverse this decay?
(Can I rejoin the fray?)

And I still feel the echo in this hallway,
a spirit that surrounds me,
a ghost that still is haunting you.
Maybe that’s why you still
leave the light on for me?
But please know you can move on with me.

A systematic outlook,
insincerity, or overlooking
happenstances,
second glances,
forcing open questions -
I have tried it all.
But have I tried everything?
I do not know this phantom,
nut did I let this happen?

Did I let this happen?

It's not faking stability
If it's what you feel inside
And if trying's all you can do
Then there is something that I must know,
That there is a way
To move on from all of this
To move on and still come back without it
breaking me.

This could all be so easy.
This could all be so easy.
It could all be so easy.
It could all be so easy.

I still feel the echo in this hallway
a spirit that surrounds me
a ghost that will be with me always.

I don’t know why,
is that the reason that you
still leave this light on for me?
Please, just move on with me.
(leave it on for me)
Please just move on with me
‘Cause it could all be so -
