[Verse 1]
Late nights, taxi lights, your face in my rearview
Your coffee-stained shirt, the laugh that woke the moon
Whispered secrets on vinyl, lipstick on the rim
Searching for your warmth in the night, where it begins
[Pre-Chorus 1]
Can you feel my heartbeat? It's tapping through the hush
This love's a moving tide, pulling me like a current
Still I reach, still I try, tracing all the echoes
Of doorways that remember, of a light that used to glow
[Chorus]
Echoes of us, they're ringing in my bones
A melody of midnight, a song that keeps me up at dawn
Every breath, every touch, still lingers in the air
Echoes of us — ohh (echoes of us — ohh)
[Verse 2]
Your vinyl on repeat, the rain on the cab window
The way you paused on the street to let the city go
That mixtape you made, the scar behind your smile
I hold the little pieces like they're keeping time awhile
[Pre-Chorus 2]
Now silence answers back with the rhythm of goodbye
This tide keeps turning, pulling memory like a tide
I try to step away but my hands keep finding shadows
Reaching past the doorway for the warmth I used to know
[Chorus]
Echoes of us, they're ringing in my bones
A melody of midnight, a song that keeps me up at dawn
Every breath, every touch, still lingers in the air
Echoes of us — ohh (echoes of us — ohh)
[Bridge]
I whisper names you never heard and they float like prayers
I confess to empty pillows and the way I still prepare
For footsteps that won't come, for laughter down these halls
I keep a postcard of your shadow tacked up on my wall
If I could fold the distance, I'd give you back the morning
Say the things I never said, watch the quiet stop its warning
[Chorus — Final]
Echoes of us, they're ringing in my bones
A melody of midnight, a song that keeps me up at dawn
Every breath, every touch, still lingers in the air
Echoes of us — ohh (echoes of us — ohh)
[Outro]
Echoes of us, echoes of love
Forever in my heart, forever dreaming of...
Echoes of us — ohh, echoes of us — whoa (ad-libs fade)
[Production Notes]
Verses: intimate — sparse keys, brushed drums, low electric piano.
Pre-chorus: build with doubling vocal harmonies and sub bass swell.
Chorus: let it bloom — warm pad, layered vocals, subtle strings; include a short 3–4 syllable vocal tag after each chorus for radio recall ("Echoes of us — ohh").
Bridge: peak emotionally — pull back instrumentation to highlight lead vocal then swell into final chorus. Leave space for female ad-libs in the outro.
