her

[00:01.02] (Verse 1)

[00:11.91] You leave your keys by the sink, hanging right on the edge

[00:16.43] A silver pile threatening to drop down the drain

[00:19.35] I watch your chest rise, pooling warmth on the foot of my bed

[00:22.80] Tracing the ink on your forearm, that little crooked plane

[00:25.99] You talk about her while you’re wearing my washed-out shirt

[00:29.97] I nod and hum, swallowing down the dry air

[00:32.90] It’s a really specific, deep down kind of hurt

[00:36.08] To smell the corner store smoke and the cedar trapped in your hair

[00:37.95] (Pre-Chorus)

[00:39.54] Two inches of mattress, but miles and miles wide

[00:42.99] You shift your weight, your knee heavily brushing my thigh

[00:45.91] And I go completely frozen, keeping the panic inside

[00:47.77] While you fall asleep under the glare of the ceiling light

[00:54.15] (Chorus)

[00:54.68] This is the sad shape of almost

[00:57.87] The cold truth of being your favorite ghost

[01:00.26] I’m a guest inside your world, paying rent in my teeth

[01:03.97] Grinding them down just to smile underneath

[01:06.90] You breathe me in, but you never hold the air

[01:14.07] I’m sitting right next to you, but I’m not really there

[01:18.85] (Verse 2)

[01:20.97] You sip my coffee, complain that it's bitter and black

[01:24.43] I memorized your sugar order three months ago

[01:27.88] I bite my tongue, pull the ceramic cup back

[01:31.07] There’s a quiet cruelty in knowing the things that I know

[01:34.26] Like how you stumble on your words when your brain gets too tired

[01:37.97] Or the way you tap your left thumb when you casually lie

[01:41.17] My head and my heart are completely cross-wired

[01:44.35] Running on the fumes of your careless, little goodbye

[01:47.80] (Pre-Chorus)

[01:48.07] Two inches of mattress, but miles and miles wide

[01:51.26] You stretch your arms out, taking up all of my space

[01:54.45] I bury my hands in my pockets, swallowing pride

[01:57.63] Memorizing the shadows falling over your face

[02:00.29] (Chorus)

[02:01.08] Cause this is the sad shape of almost

[02:04.27] The cold truth of being your favorite ghost

[02:06.93] I’m a guest inside your world, paying rent in my teeth

[02:10.12] Grinding them down just to smile underneath

[02:13.57] You breathe me in, but you never hold the air

[02:20.47] I’m sitting right next to you, but I’m not really there

[02:26.32] (Bridge)

[02:27.38] I could lean in. I could ruin the whole system.

[02:31.10] Spill the glass of water, watch the coffee table flood.

[02:34.02] But I save these half-hearted moments, I stubbornly twist 'em

[02:37.21] Into a ghost of a feeling that almost feels like fresh blood.

[02:41.20] So I stay on my side of the invisible line

[02:44.40] Pretending this borrowed air is doing just fine.

[02:48.91] (Outro)

[02:54.22] Keys by the sink.

[02:57.15] You’re waking up now. It's nine.

[03:00.62] You tie your shoes.

[03:03.27] "See you tomorrow."

[03:06.19] Yeah.

[03:06.99] See you tomorrow.

[03:10.71] The lock clicks.

[03:13.90] I watch the door close.

[03:18.94] I just watch the door close.
