[Verse 1]

After having spent a fast year

Waiting for the next time I can get you close

I grew used to being back here

Like a chorus and rhyme, soldier at his post

You call and I respond, the sparrow and the song

I miss you when you're gone

[Chorus]

When I am alone, I see you in the dark

I talk into the empty like you were with me

Started on a cold night, felt you in the low light

Noticing a reflex taking over me

I see you and I reach

Muscle memory

[Verse 2]

Again, off into the next fall

I am on the back steps trying to let you in

See you standing in the front hall

Maybe this is madness underneath my skin

Guess love is a response of the body it haunts

And we do what it wants

[Chorus]

When I am alone, I see you in the dark

I talk into the empty like you were with me

Started on a cold night, felt you in the low light

Noticing a reflex taking over me

I see you and I reach

Muscle memory

I feel you endlessly

Muscle memory

[Bridge]

When I feel the chains of a thousand words

And I speak your name like I know you heard

I can feel you there, I can hear you move

And it moves me too

When I'm playing games and I'm drinking wine

And I see your glass sitting next to mine

I can feel you there when you're not at home

Like I'm not alone

[Chorus]

When I am alone, I see you in the dark

I talk into the empty like you were with me

Started on a cold night, felt you in the low light

Noticing a reflex taking over me

I see you and I reach

Muscle memory

I feel you endlessly

Muscle memory
