Chime Drift

[Verse 1]

Ceiling fan spinning slow

Dust in the late-day gold

Your sweater on my chair

Sleeve reaching for my shadow

Tea steam curls

Then goes

Name on my phone

Untold

Pages of half-typed notes

Little unsent halos

[Chorus]

Chime drift

I fall through

Every small echo of you

I touch the air

It almost answers

Soft shift

The room bends

I’m in the dream again

Too bright to stay

Too pale to vanish

[Verse 2]

Footprints in carpet grain

Ghosts of a quiet rain

You laugh in another room

I turn

And it’s only air

Street noise a distant blur

Blue on the window

Stirred

I hum you a borrowed tune

Mouth moving

But you’re not there

[Chorus]

Chime drift

I fall through

Every small echo of you

I touch the air

It almost answers

Soft shift

The room bends

I’m in the dream again

Too bright to stay

Too pale to vanish

[Bridge]

If I don’t wake

Will you stay strange

A perfect almost

At arm’s length

If I let go

Will you break

Or bloom

Falling slow

Across this room (oh)

[Chorus]

Chime drift

I fall through

Every small echo of you

I touch the air

It almost answers

Soft shift

The room bends

I’m in the dream again

Soft shift

The room bends

I’m in the dream again

Too bright to stay

Too pale to vanish
