Basement Apartment Echo

Lyrics

[Verse 1] I keep your hoodie on the chair by the sink It still smells like rain and that cheap mint drink My phone face down like it knows the truth You left a dent in me I can’t smooth through I laugh at nothing when the room gets small Scrape on the wall where you dropped it all [Pre-Chorus] And the floorboards rise like they know my name I hold my breath when I hear that train If I call too loud will you feel the break? I’m a bad old song with a bent-out take [Chorus] Don’t let go now don’t let go now I’m still here, still broke I’m still here, still broke Don’t let go now don’t let go now Say my name out loud say my name out loud [Verse 2] I took the long way just to waste some time Passed your corner store and the red stop sign My hands keep shaking for no good cause Like a match that burns just before it pauses I write your number on the back of my mind Then I tear that page for the hundredth time [Pre-Chorus] And the ceiling bends when I get too close Every little lie comes back and glows If I sink again will you pull me up? I’ve been swallowing glass out of a paper cup [Chorus] Don’t let go now don’t let go now I’m still here, still broke I’m still here, still broke Don’t let go now don’t let go now Say my name out loud say my name out loud [Bridge] I don’t need a miracle just a hand on my sleeve Something warm, something real something that won’t leave If I go quiet and the dark gets near Pull me back, pull me back I’m still right here [Chorus] Don’t let go now don’t let go now I’m still here, still broke I’m still here, still broke Don’t let go now don’t let go now Say my name out loud say my name out loud
