Lost In The Echo Of The World

Crowded room
I'm talking to nobody
Plastic smiles
They slide right through me
Every laugh
Feels two seconds delayed
Like I'm stuck
In yesterday's wave

I'm lost in the echo of the world
Everything I hear already heard
Voices all around me
Blurred
Calling my name
But it won't land
Lost in the echo of the world
Like I'm a ghost in my own plans
Reaching for something that won't turn
Just spinning in the echo of the world

Phone light on
But I let it ring out
Tiny screen
Can't hold this blackout
Every word
Arrives a beat too late
I nod along
But my eyes vacate

I'm lost in the echo of the world
Everything I hear already heard
Voices all around me
Blurred
Calling my name
But it won't land
Lost in the echo of the world
Like I'm a ghost in my own plans
Reaching for something that won't turn
Just spinning in the echo of the world

Do you feel it too?
This delay between our hearts
I'm right here
But I'm watching from afar
If you hear me
Answer slow
Let the silence overflow
Maybe in the quiet
We reset the glow

I was lost in the echo of the world
Till your little word cut through the blur
One clear signal
Soft and firm
Pulling me back
Hand in your hand
Still in the echo of the world
But now I'm walking where I stand
Hearing your laughter as my word
A new voice in the echo of the world
