Holograms in Empty Rooms

[Verse 1]

Curtains drawn at 4 p.m

Half-drunk tea on the nightstand

Your coat still hanging by the door

But you’ve been gone for days now

[Pre-Chorus]

I talk to the furniture

Just to hear an answer

Silence in the ceiling fan

Keeps circling

Circling

[Chorus]

Are we holograms in empty rooms

Touching air like it's you

Talking to the shadows on the wall

They know me better than you do

I feel closer to the quiet

Than to anyone I knew

Holograms in empty rooms

But I still reach for you (for you)

[Verse 2]

Phone screen glowing

Cracked in two

Voice notes I will never send

I rehearse every line alone

Till even my echoes sound strange

[Pre-Chorus]

You fade in the elevator glass

My face over yours

You fade in the elevator glass

My face over yours

Then past

Two strangers stacked in the same frame

Slipping through

Slipping through

[Chorus]

Are we holograms in empty rooms

Touching air like it's you

Talking to the shadows on the wall

They know me better than you do

I feel closer to the quiet

Than to anyone I knew

Holograms in empty rooms

But I still reach for you (for you)

[Bridge]

[Voices drift left and right

Almost out of phase]

You say my name from the far side

I answer back from the inside

We never land in the same place

Just ring around the dark space

[Chorus]

Are we holograms in empty rooms

Touching air like it's you

Talking to the shadows on the wall

They know me better than you do

I feel closer to the quiet

Than to anyone I knew

Holograms in empty rooms

But I still reach for you (for you)
