Lyrics

[Verse 1]

I've been calling out, you won't speak to me

I can feel your ghost, but you're out of reach

What I won't give just to bring you back to me

My ecstasy, my remedy

It's enthralling now in the elegy

How you're all I see

[PreChorus]

Wait for me

[Chorus]

I'll see you on the other side

Where the light begins to fade, and maybe in another life

Will you wait for me and stay in retrograde?

[Verse 2]

I've been crawling down on my hands and knees

Searching for your voice in the eulogy

'Cause I'm addicted to the silhouette, your shadow dancing through my head

Just take me back to when we met, don't tell me that it's over yet

Feels like I'm losing the old me, only one who's ever known me

Need you to hold me till it stops

[Chorus]

I'll see you on the other side

Where the light begins to fade, and maybe in another life

I could take the pain away

But I won't give up the light you left in me

My cause for breathing, maybe in another life

Will you wait for me and stay in retrograde?

[Chorus]

Stay in retrograde

[Bridge]

I'll visit you in my dreams

Each night I close my eyes, it's only you I see

Haunted

Haunted

Without you here with me

But when I fall asleep

[Chorus]

I'll see you on the other side

Where the light begins to fade

And maybe in another life

I could take the pain away

But I won't give up the light you left in me

My cause for breathing, maybe in another life

In another life

Will you wait for me and stay in retrograde?

[Outro]

What I won't give just to bring you back to me

My ecstasy, my remedy

In retrograde

It's enthralling now in the elegy

Will you wait for me and stay in retrograde?
