Ghost Meridian by Hollow Atlas <br /><br />Lyrics<br /><br />[Verse 1]<br />I found a photo from two winters back<br />Your eyes were doing something they don't do<br />Some brightness that I'd stopped noticing missing<br />Some version of you pointing back at you<br />I held it for a long time at the table<br />Trying to locate when that light went out<br />You came in, asked me what I was looking at<br />I said nothing, set it face down, let it go<br />[Pre-Chorus]<br />There's a meridian<br />An invisible line<br />Where you crossed from present<br />Into something left behind<br />I don't know the date<br />I don't know the hour<br />But the person in that photo<br />Doesn't live here anymore<br />[Chorus]<br />Ghost meridian<br />You're here but you've already gone<br />Ghost meridian<br />I've been talking to someone who moved on<br />The coordinates are right, the body's in the room<br />But I've been holding conversations with a ghost<br />Since some unmarked afternoon<br />Ghost meridian<br />I loved you past the point<br />You loved me too<br />Ghost meridian<br />[Verse 2]<br />I think about the last time you meant it<br />Not saying it — you still say it, that's the trick<br />The last time that the weight of it was present<br />The last time it was real and not just habit's wick<br />I can't locate it, can't pin down the evening<br />It didn't announce itself, it just withdrew<br />And somewhere in between the weeks and seasons<br />The you I knew became a ghost I knew<br />[Pre-Chorus]<br />There's a meridian<br />An invisible line<br />Where you crossed from present<br />Into something left behind<br />I don't know the date<br />I don't know the hour<br />But the person that I married in my mind<br />Doesn't live here anymore<br />[Chorus]<br />Ghost meridian<br />You're here but you've already gone<br />Ghost meridian<br />I've been talking to someone who moved on<br />The coordinates are right, the body's in the room<br />But I've been holding conversations with a ghost<br />Since some unmarked afternoon<br />Ghost meridian<br />I loved you past the point<br />You loved me too<br />Ghost meridian<br />[Bridge]<br />I'm not angry<br />That surprises me<br />I thought when I saw it clearly<br />I'd have more to say<br />But it's just<br />Quiet<br />The way a room goes quiet<br />When someone's slipped away<br />And I'm standing at the ghost meridian<br />On the wrong side of the line<br />And the atlas I've been carrying<br />Was hollow<br />The whole time<br />[Final Chorus]<br />Ghost meridian<br />You're here but you've already gone<br />Ghost meridian<br />I've been talking to someone who moved on<br />The coordinates are right, the body's in the room<br />But I've been holding conversations with a ghost<br />Since some unmarked afternoon<br />Ghost meridian<br />I loved you past the point<br />You loved me too<br />(silence)<br />[Outro]<br /><br />
