[Verse 1] You left, but your scent stayed On my shirt, on my skin Same old cup on the table Still got your red on the rim I moved my keys by the door Still reach back like you’re there Funny how a room can hold What a body can’t repair [Pre-Chorus] I tried to wash you out Tried to sleep it off But every little thing Brings the feeling back soft And I know it’s over Still I feel you in the air [Chorus] You linger, linger Right on my tongue (linger) You linger, linger When the night gets long (linger) I let you go, then you pull me back Like that, like that You linger, linger And I can’t act like that don’t matter [Verse 2] Your name in my phone still shines Like a cut I don’t touch I scroll past a hundred texts But yours still hits too much Got a new smile in my mirror New plans on my mind Still one slow song and I’m there At the edge of the night [Pre-Chorus] I tried to wash you out Tried to lock it down But your ghost got a way Of coming back around And I know it’s over Still I feel you in the air [Chorus] You linger, linger Right on my tongue (linger) You linger, linger When the night gets long (linger) I let you go, then you pull me back Like that, like that You linger, linger And I can’t act like that don’t matter [Bridge] Maybe love don’t leave clean Maybe it stains the seams Maybe some goodbyes Still live in my dreams So I breathe it in Let it pass through me But your shadow still knows How to find my key [Final Chorus] You linger, linger Right on my tongue (linger) You linger, linger When the night gets long (linger) I let you go, then you pull me back Like that, like that You linger, linger And I can’t act like that don’t matter You linger, linger In my chest, in my hands (linger) You linger, linger And I still don’t understand (linger)
