[Intro]
Softly now, the attic sighs
Dusty sunbeams gossip through the blinds
[Verse 1]
I found you where the laughter hid your tears
Colors once bright, now pale with passing years
Buttons for eyes, a smile half-remembered
I trace the thread where childhood dreams yet lingered
[Pre-Chorus]
Time tapes a quiet bruise on every seam
But memories glow like a stubborn beam
[Chorus]
You fade in the corner of a dusty room
From carnival hues to a muted bloom
But in the quiet, your heartbeat keeps a tune
Whispering that innocence returns in the afternoon
[Verse 2]
The fluff is thin where knees once pressed the sky
You whisper stories that time can’t deny
Creaks and cracks are soft lullabies I know
I tuck you closer as the daylight goes slow
[Pre-Chorus]
Though the colors dim, a warm ember stays
In every scratch, a thousand summer days
[Chorus]
You fade in the corner of a dusty room
From carnival hues to a muted bloom
But in the quiet, your heartbeat keeps a tune
Whispering that innocence returns in the afternoon
[Bridge]
Growing up is a shelf that bends with light
Still I borrow courage from your faded sight
[Chorus]
You fade in the corner of a dusty room
From carnival hues to a muted bloom
But in the quiet, your heartbeat keeps a tune
Whispering that innocence returns in the afternoon
[Outro]
So I bid you softly, old friend of mine
Your colors may fade, but the glow remains divine
