Title:
“Chasing Echoes”
Full Song Lyrics:
(Verse 1)
Em G
Running through the dark,
D Am
Seeking out the spark,
Em G
Your voice I’m chasing,
D Am
In echoes it’s fading.
(Chorus)
C G D Em
Chasing echoes, down these empty halls,
C G D Em
In the silence, it’s your name I call.
(Verse 2)
Em G
Lost in a memory,
D Am
Your laughter, your energy,
Em G
In the quiet, I’m listening,
D Am
For echoes you’re whispering.
(Chorus)
C G D Em
Chasing echoes, down these endless nights,
C G D Em
In the stillness, it’s your light I fight.
(End)
C G D Em
Chasing echoes, till I find my way,
C G D Em
In your echoes, I’ll forever stay.
