[Intro]
Can't tell if I'm awake or falling in, eyes open but I'm swimming in the dark — dream.
[Verse 1]
Woke up in a hallway with your laughter on the tiles,
Red sweater on my floor, I trace the seam and count the miles.
Rain on the window wrote your name in little streams,
Phone on silent, missed your call — the echo keeps my dreams.
The motel light flickers like the beat inside my chest,
I walk past empty rooms, past all the things we left suppressed.
A cigarette burns out in the ashtray of my thoughts,
Every corner's got a memory that I didn't pay the cost.
[Pre-Chorus 1]
I'm lucid but I'm helpless, steering through the past,
Pulling at the thread until the image never lasts.
Caught between the heartbeat and the hush of midnight scenes,
Trying to hold you steady in these thin and fragile dreams.
[Chorus]
Red sweater on my floor, I whisper your name (I whisper your name),
Clock stopped at two A.M., the dark still holds the blame.
I'm lucid and I'm lost, your ghost runs in my veins,
If morning keeps you gone, I'll call you again — call you again.
[Verse 2]
There’s a hallway with a mirror where you used to stand and smile,
I see you in the reflection for a moment, then you file
Away like unfinished letters, folded by the rain,
You said forever over rotten coffee — left me with the stain.
Bottles on the counter and a playlist of regrets,
I press replay on our last words, the chorus never sets.
You left me with a sweater and a thumbprint on the sleeve,
I learned to chase the silence, learned how to believe.
[Pre-Chorus 2]
I float through little islands made of could've been and might,
These visions stretch my fingers but they blur before the light.
I'm moving through the footage, but the scene's revealing more,
Less weight in every memory — but pain still finds the door.
[Chorus]
Red sweater on my floor, I whisper your name (I whisper your name),
Clock stopped at two A.M., the dark still holds the blame.
I'm lucid and I'm lost, your ghost runs in my veins,
If morning keeps you gone, I'll call you again — call you again.
[Bridge]
Time folds like paper, corners sharp as truth,
I read the lines you left, they bruise like honest youth.
In that hallway you were smiling with a lighter in your hand,
I bend to pick up pieces, learn to let some things unplanned.
The dream gives me the map but never shows the end,
So I write a million letters that I'll never have to send.
This is where I learn to breathe with all this noise within,
Turn the static into rhythm, turn the loss into a hymn.
[Chorus - Final]
Red sweater on my floor, I whisper your name (I whisper your name),
Clock stopped at two A.M., the dark still holds the blame.
I'm lucid and I'm lost, your ghost runs in my veins,
If morning keeps you gone, I'll call you again — call you again.
[Outro]
So I'll sleep to find the edges where the daylight can't intrude,
Keep dreaming till the color of your voice becomes the truth.
In this lucid night I practice how to say goodbye,
Then fold your red-sw
