Echoes Of Your Hoodie

[Verse 1]
Your hoodie on my chair
Still smells like last December
Coffee stains on the windowsill
I watch them while I remember

You talked about some distant coast
Said
"One day
I'm gonna find it"
I laughed and changed the subject
Scared of what was behind it

[Chorus]
I still keep your hoodie on my chair
Like you might walk back up the stairs
Same three songs on in my room
Play them just to feel you move
If you ever miss the place we were
I’m right here
In your old sweatshirt
Spinning in the same old gloom
Waiting for you
In this room

[Verse 2]
Your toothbrush in the plastic cup
Phone charger in the outlet
I clean around your scattered things
Like some fragile little secret

Friends say I should pack you up
Box the ghosts and close the chapter
I tell them that I’m “getting there”
But I’m lying through the laughter

[Chorus]
I still keep your hoodie on my chair
Like you might walk back up the stairs
Same three songs on in my room
Play them just to feel you move
If you ever miss the place we were
I’m right here
In your old sweatshirt
Spinning in the same old gloom
Waiting for you
In this room

[Bridge]
Maybe you’re out there sleeping fine (are you?)
Waking up to a different light (I’m not)
I’m tracing the seams in the cotton
Trying to stitch back what we lost

[Chorus]
I still keep your hoodie on my chair
Like you might walk back up the stairs
Same three songs on in my room
Play them just to feel you move
If you ever miss the place we were
I’m right here
In your old sweatshirt
Spinning in the same old gloom
Waiting for you
In this room
