[Verse 1]
You’re laughing in slow motion
Summer on your skin
That crooked little half-smile
Pulls the whole world in
Dust dancing in the window
Your hand in my hair
I blink and it’s a mirror
No one standing there
[Chorus]
Flashback
You’re turning toward me
Soft glow spilling through the doorframe
Frozen in the frame
But you feel so near
You’re a memory made of daylight
Fading as I try to hold tight
All that’s left of us keeps burning clear
In a flashback
Flashback
You’re still here
[Verse 2]
Mugs on the kitchen counter
One chipped
One stained
Your sweater on the chair back
Whispering my name
Every little quiet corner
Still carries your light
I close my eyes a second
Lose another night
[Chorus]
Flashback
You’re turning toward me
Soft glow spilling through the doorframe
Frozen in the frame
But you feel so near
You’re a memory made of daylight
Fading as I try to hold tight
All that’s left of us keeps burning clear
In a flashback
Flashback
You’re still here
[Bridge]
You walk through the white
Till you’re silver
Then gone
I stand in the afterimage
Trying to hold on
[Chorus]
Flashback
You’re turning toward me
Soft glow spilling through the doorframe
Frozen in the frame
But you feel so near
You’re a memory made of daylight
Fading as I try to hold tight
All that’s left of us keeps burning clear
In a flashback
Flashback
You’re still here
You’re laughing in slow motion
Summer on your skin
That crooked little half-smile
Pulls the whole world in
Dust dancing in the window
Your hand in my hair
I blink and it’s a mirror
No one standing there
[Chorus]
Flashback
You’re turning toward me
Soft glow spilling through the doorframe
Frozen in the frame
But you feel so near
You’re a memory made of daylight
Fading as I try to hold tight
All that’s left of us keeps burning clear
In a flashback
Flashback
You’re still here

Soft glow spilling through the doorframe

Musikstil
Cinematic ballad with warm piano and airy strings; male vocals in an intimate whisper that swell into an emotional, wide-screen chorus. Subtle pads and soft pulsing percussion build under the verses; big, blooming chords and stacked harmonies in the hook. Reverb-washed guitar swells and a gentle rise-and-fall arc to feel like a memory coming into focus then drifting away., light, soft, emotional
