Everything You Left Behind Songtext
von BEET

I found your coat in the back of the closet
Still smells like November rain
A ticket stub from that Dylan show we missed
Guess some things never change

The dishes still stacked in the sink
Your Clarks desert boots by the door where you left them
I should clean up, but I can′t bring myself
To touch everything you abandoned

Everything you left behind
Still lives here like a ghost
Every song, every sigh, every long, late drive
Still lingers in the walls the most
And I don't know how to let you go
When you′re still everywhere I go

Your mocha coffee, half-full, still stains the counter
Like the things we never said
The calendar's stuck on the day you walked out
The future just stopped in its steps


The clock keeps ticking the same
But time's standing still in this room
I tried moving things, but it felt like a crime
Like erasing the shape of you

Everything you left behind
Still lives here like a ghost
Every song, every sigh, every long, late drive
Still lingers in the walls the most
And I don′t know how to let you go
When you′re still everywhere I go

I should paint the walls, throw away your poems
Burn the bed where we used to dream
But the past keeps pulling like an undertow
And I'm too damn tired to swim upstream

Everything you left behind
Still lives here like a ghost
Every song, every sigh, every long, late drive
Still lingers in the walls the most
And I don′t know how to let you go
When you're still everywhere I go
