I was the one who rode in the cab that day
Thought I was lost in the lights on the grid
I nearly missed something I didn't see
A chemistry without a recipe
Was I wrong?
Like nothing was there
Was it there all along?
Just needed some air
Walk in a room and can't remember why you're standing there
Lost in a memory just staring at an empty chair
There was a fire but it faded in the afterglow
We took the air out and now the flame is burning low
Embers, we were embers
Embers, we were embers
When I first lost you, I tried to move on from it
We grew apart and I wanted to call
But I lost your number for what felt like forever
I wanted to tell you I ended up with you
Was I wrong?
Like nothing was there
Was it there all along?
Just needed some air
Walk in a room and can't remember why you're standing there
Lost in a memory just staring at an empty chair
There was a fire but it faded in the afterglow
We took the air out and now the flame is burning low (embers)
Walk in a room and can't remember why you're standing there (embers)
When you're lost in a memory just staring at an empty chair (embers)
There was a fire but it faded in the afterglow (embers)
We took the air out and now the flame is burning low
Embers, we were embers (we were embers)
Embers (we were embers), we were embers
