[Verse] Sunlight spills through dust like golden thread On a box with faded names and songs I’ve never said A ticket stub from a film we never saw And a tape labeled “us” — but not a word was raw [Pre-Chorus] I don’t know why I kept you here In velvet shadows, year after year But every chord still hums your name Like a whisper no one else can claim [Chorus] Oh, we were quiet, soft and slow Like echoes in a room we used to know You were all the music I didn’t sing And I was all you never meant to bring But every time I close my eyes It’s you in every melody Just a box, a ghost, a song Still alive, still wrong [Verse] A pen with ink that’s long since dried And a note saying “I’ll meet you by the tide” No date, no sign, just hope in ink A love that never really took its blink [Pre-Chorus] I don’t know why I kept you near In silence, floating, year after year But every thread still hums your name Like a lullaby I can’t reclaim [Chorus] Oh, we were quiet, soft and slow Like echoes in a room we used to know You were all the music I didn’t sing And I was all you never meant to bring But every time I close my eyes It’s you in every melody Just a box, a ghost, a song Still alive, still wrong [Bridge] If time could rewind just one more time I’d leave the tape in the player, not the mind I’d say what I never said in the rain And let you go — the way you’d have to be again [Outro] Just a box, a ghost, a song Still alive… still wrong… Still alive… Still wrong…
