Lingering Between Walls

Your coffee cup is where you left it

Beside the book you never closed

I hear your footsteps in the hallway

But it's just the wind,

I suppose

I watch the shadows shift and change

And trace the outline of your brow

But memory doesn’t need a key To let you in somehow

You're gone

But you're still in the room

(yes you are) Every corner of my heart is covered in your

perfume

Yeah you're gone But you're still in the room

Still in the room (still in the room)

Still in the room

I catch myself

speaking your name aloud

To an empty, silent space

And for a second,

through the window light I think I see your face

They say that time will heal the ache But they don't know

the ghost you make It's not a haunting of regret

It's just that I am not ready to forget

Because you're gone

But you're still in the room (always)

Every corner of my heart is covered in your perfume Yeah you're

gone

But you're still in the room

Still in the room

Still in the room (hmmmm)
