Verse 1
The room is dark, but I still see
Your shadow moving next to me
Like every word we left unsaid
Is hanging somewhere overhead
I hear your voice inside the walls,
A distant sound that never falls
And every time I close my eyes,
I’m standing where we said goodbye
Pre-Chorus
Maybe love was never made
To leave without a trace
Maybe time can close the wound
But never take its place
Chorus
So hold me until the echo lets us go,
Until there’s nothing left of us to know
When every light has faded from the sky,
I’ll still be reaching for you in the night
Hold me like the world is ending slow,
Like we’re the only two who’ll ever know
How something beautiful can hurt us so
Hold me until the echo lets us go
Verse 2
The photographs have lost their shine,
But your hand is always holding mine
Two frozen hearts behind the glass,
Still unaware that time would pass
We made our promises too young,
Believing we could outrun
The silent distance growing strong
Between the place we were and where we’d gone
Pre-Chorus
Maybe we were meant to burn
Too bright to ever stay
Maybe some fires disappear
But never fade away
Chorus
So hold me until the echo lets us go,
Until there’s nothing left of us to know
When every light has faded from the sky,
I’ll still be reaching for you in the night
Hold me like the world is ending slow,
Like we’re the only two who’ll ever know
How something beautiful can hurt us so
Hold me until the echo lets us go
Bridge
I don’t need another reason
I don’t need another lie
I just need one final moment
Before we turn and say goodbye
Let the silence crash around us,
Let it tear the heavens wide
For one heartbeat, let me feel you
Like you never left my side
Breakdown
And if tomorrow finds me standing here alone,
I’ll carry every piece of what we’ve known
I won’t regret the love that brought me home—
Even if I have to let you go
Final Chorus
So hold me until the echo lets us go,
Until the stars forget the way they glow
When every light has vanished from the sky,
I’ll still remember how you changed my life
Hold me while the final curtains close,
While every shattered memory overflows
I loved you more than you could ever know—
Hold me until the echo lets us go
Final Refrain
Hold me—
Though the night is closing in
Hold me—
Like we could begin again
Hold me—
One last time before we know
Until the echo…
Until the echo lets us go
Outro
The room is dark, but now I see—
Some part of you will stay with me
Until the echo letsus go.
