Bittersweet symphony

Verse 1

Four walls turning gold

Long shadows on the faded hallway rug

I can hear the pipes rattle

Your name is caught inside my teeth

Pre-Chorus

Every shelf is half empty

I found a receipt in your drawer

Watching the clouds move slow

Counting all the stains on the hardwood

Chorus

But I remember when the air was sweet

When we were whole

Before the bitter set in deep

I remember how it used to be

Now the house is too quiet

Just the humming of the fridge and me

Verse 2

Wind hits the back door glass

I haven't moved a single piece of mail

Found a book you marked up

Notes written in the margin of the page

Pre-Chorus

I should go for a walk

Maybe drive until the gas light blinks

Listening to the tires hum

Looking for a way to let this go

Chorus

But I remember when the air was sweet

When we were whole

Before the bitter set in deep

I remember how it used to be

Now the house is too quiet

Just the humming of the fridge and me

Bridge

Maybe it was coming

Maybe it was time

Maybe we just drifted

Like the smoke from a dying fire

Chorus

But I remember when the air was sweet

When we were whole

Before the bitter set in deep

I remember how it used to be

Now the house is too quiet

Just the humming of the fridge and me

Hook

And I wait

I wait

Still waiting here for something to change

Humming of the fridge and me
