Watching You, AJ

Lyrics

[Verse 1] You leave your coffee by the window Same chipped blue cup at half past ten A paper folded on the table With my name written once again [Pre-Chorus] You never knock, you never call Still every room remembers you I hear the floorboards count the steps Before the hallway comes in view [Chorus] I’m watching you, AJ From the corner of the frame You can change the locks and turn the key But you can’t erase my name I’m watching you, AJ When the house goes quiet too Every little move you make Comes back around to you [Verse 2] The porch light flickers twice at midnight Your car is parked beside the gate A red reflection crosses curtains Then disappears before I wake [Pre-Chorus] You think the glass can keep me out You think the dark can make you safe But every secret leaves a mark And every mark becomes a trace [Chorus] I’m watching you, AJ From the corner of the frame You can change the locks and turn the key But you can’t erase my name I’m watching you, AJ When the house goes quiet too Every little move you make Comes back around to you [Bridge] No more notes beneath the door No more footsteps on the stairs If you want to know who’s watching Look behind you—I’m not there [Final Chorus] I’m watching you, AJ Now the truth is in the room You can bury every photograph But it still develops soon I’m watching you, AJ And the morning’s coming through Every little move you made Will be waiting there for you [Outro] I’m watching you, AJ The frame is empty now I’m watching you, AJ And you know exactly how
