Streetlights paint patterns on the floor
Right where your suitcase was before
I trace the lines a silent game
And whisper out your name in vain
Remember dancing in the rain that night
You said we'd always hold on tight
Now the only thing I'm holding to
Is a faded photograph of you
And so I'll wait in the echo of the quiet
A silent hope a one-man riot
Fighting the urge to just move on
Hoping you're not truly gone
This house is just a hollow space
Without the smile upon your face
I'm caught between the now and then
Just tell me you'll come back again
The coffee's on I made enough for two
A silly habit I can't see through
I catch a glimpse of someone in the crowd
And for a second say your name out loud
The seasons change the leaves begin to fall
I built my world around your every call
Now the silence is a deafening sound
As I stand on this holy ground
And so I'll wait in the echo of the quiet
A silent hope a one-man riot
Fighting the urge to just move on
Hoping you're not truly gone
This house is just a hollow space
Without the smile upon your face
I'm caught between the now and then
Just tell me you'll come back again
Maybe I'm a fool to think that love's enough
That you'll turn back when the road gets rough
But what we had was more than just a fleeting spark
It was a wildfire burning in the dark
And so I'll wait in the echo of the quiet
My silent hope a one-man riot
I'm fighting the urge to just move on
I know you're not truly gone
This house is just a hollow space
Without the smile upon your face
I'm caught between the now and then
Just tell me you'll come back again
I'll be right here
In the quiet
I'll be right here
Just tell me you'll come back again
I'll be waiting
