Lyric

I thought I heard it again

A little sound beside my bed

The room was still

The screen was dark

But something moved inside my chest

I reach before I’m even awake

For words I know you didn’t send

My body still remembers you

Though we already reached the end

Every silence imitates

The rhythm of your name

A passing car, a closing door

And I look up again

Nothing came through

Nothing lit up

No missed call waiting

No reason to look

But underneath

The quiet tonight

Something keeps ringing

Just out of sight

No message, no light

No sign of you tonight

But somewhere inside me

You’re still ringing

I know you’re not there

There’s nothing in the air

But every part of me

Is still listening

No message, no light

Still ringing

Still ringing tonight

Still ringing

Inside me

The pipes complain behind the walls

The elevator shakes the floor

A glass touches the kitchen sink

I think it’s you once more

I turned the vibration off

I left the phone facedown

But absence has a frequency

And yours is all around

A hundred little phantom sounds

Are multiplying in the room

Every note becomes a door

I keep expecting you to move through

Nothing came through

Nothing lit up

No new words waiting

No reason to look

But underneath

The quiet tonight

Something keeps ringing

Behind my eyes

No message, no light

No sign of you tonight

But somewhere inside me

You’re still ringing

I know you’re not there

There’s nothing in the air

But every part of me

Is still listening

No message, no light

Still ringing

Still ringing tonight

Maybe I don’t miss your voice

Maybe I miss who I became

Whenever your name filled the room

And silence had a shape

If I could mute the memory

Would I finally let you go?

Or would I press my ear against

The emptiness I know?

One note

Then another

One echo

Then a hundred

No call

No answer

No you

Why can I still hear you?

No message, no light

No sign of you tonight

But somewhere inside me

You're still ringing

I know you're not there

There's nothing in the air

But every part of me

Is still listening

No message, no light

No answer, no goodbye

You left the room in silence

But you're still ringing

Still ringing

Still ringing tonight

In every empty room

In every little sound

In everything that isn’t you

I still turn around

Still ringing
