I Was There

# I Was There Genre ©· 2026 ## Lyrics The copper screen door was still when I came back A amber light bleeding through the dusk blue curtains You asked me where was I when the rain started falling And I had no answer, just the weight of your voice Fog on the windshield of something we never named I was driving nowhere, you were already gone I was there, standing in the doorway I was there, when the neon flickered The third presence still lingers in the pattern of your breath I was there Mosquito screen hinge complaint in the July heat Bare wire humming where the circuit used to be I counted your absences like loose guitar strings Each one a different tension, none of them resolving Fog lifting from the dashboard, dawn refusing to arrive You said I was never quite there when it mattered most I was there, catching the last ember I was there, when the dusk turned colder A memory of someone standing between us in the hallway I was there Amber glass shard catching what little light remained Nylon plucks and ribbon verb, almost a conversation The third presence dissolved into steam rising slow And I finally saw your face without searching for mine I was there, watching the rain reflection I was there, in the pause between heartbeats You asked me where was I when the night finally broke I was there ## Tags #altpop #chamberpop #ambientelectronica #guiltylonging #confessional #fsharpm minor #candlelit #amber #duskblue #intimate #slowburn #indiepop #neonrain #thirdpresence #lofi #brushtrum #feltpiano #subbass
