Midnight Reel — Dmitry Yu

Текст песни

[Intro]
A match burns blue beside the window
Rain writes circles on the glass

[Verse 1]
You left your coat on the kitchen chair
One silver button hanging by a thread
I found your train ticket under the sink
Tomorrow printed where your name had been

[Pre-Chorus]
I held it up against the light
As if the paper might explain

[Chorus]
Come back before the kettle cools
Before the hallway loses your shape
I kept one room exactly as you left it
And one small truth I couldn’t say

[Verse 2]
The baker swept flour from the step
A newspaper folded into yesterday
Your photograph stayed face-down in the drawer
Still warm from everything I couldn’t erase

[Chorus]
Come back before the kettle cools
Before the hallway loses your shape
I kept one room exactly as you left it
And one small truth I couldn’t say

[Bridge]
If you hear the old pipes knocking
That’s my hand against the wall
Not a signal, not forgiveness
Just a way to know I’m here at all

[Instrumental Break]

[Final Chorus]
Come back before the kettle cools
Before the hallway loses your shape
I kept one room exactly as you left it
And now I’m ready to say your name

[Outro]
The match goes dark beside the window
Morning gathers on the glass
