Your number lived inside my head

Your number lived inside my head Lyrics by Walter Zenko Verse 1 At home after dark, Red light blinking on the answering machine, Like a pulse that forgot its name. An old robe on the chair, still holding your shape, Change on the counter, cold as the sink. I waited alone, not knowing, If someone would call, Or if the room would stay this way. Chorus 1 Back in the day the waiting felt like promise, Like something good was on its way. Silence held its breath, Like a note before it sounds, And time did not intrude. Verse 2 Your number lived inside my head, Written where sleep could not erase it. No paper ever held it. I dialed slow, afraid of mistakes, Watching the cord stretch across the floor, Listening to each click. I loved the way you said hello, Before I felt your smile, Chorus 2 Every voice carried weight, Every word had a place to land. We listened harder than we spoke, Like we were saving the moment Because that was all we had. Verse 3 We wrote our lives in pencil and ink, Lists on the fridge, plans on the wall. Magnets shaped like cities we never reached. Your handwriting leaned when you hurried, Mine tried too hard to be neat. Once it was written, it counted, No undo, no erase, Just the smudge where your thumb passed. Verse 4 We got lost on purpose in those years, Maps folding back the wrong way, Creased where we argued, torn where we laughed. Postcards arrived after we returned, Stamps faded, corners bent. Photos came weeks late, Faces half remembered by then. Time didn’t rush to meet us, It waited until we were ready. Chorus 4 Distance did not mean absence, Delay did not mean doubt. Life unfolded when it wanted, Like a letter opened slowly, And we learned to follow. Verse 5 Then nights filled up with schedules, Calendars crowded with small squares. Shows started without us if we ran late. Albums still played all the way through, Their covers worn thin at the edges. Games left open between the songs, Your piece untouched. And we talked less as the silence grew. The board stayed set on the table, Waiting for a night we postponed. Chorus 5 We began to trade moments for plans, And plans for something else. Nothing ended all at once, It just waited longer each time, Like a light left on in an empty room. Verse 6 One day you stopped knocking, The door remembered your hand. You started texting before you spoke. Dinners shortened, chairs stayed empty, Plates cooled faster than before. Arguments slipped into silence. We said goodbye in messages, Not at the door, Not with coats on. Chorus 6 Goodbyes grew quieter, Not sharper, not cruel. They lost their sound first, Then their shape, Like footprints after rain. Verse 7 Now I walk with a screen in my hand, Music filling every quiet space. I pass people without learning their voices, Without noticing how they pause. Moments disappear before they settle. The world keeps everything forever, Clouds full of yesterday, Except the things that mattered. Chorus 7 We save more than we remember, But remember less of what we save. The noise keeps filling the room, And something human slips away, Like warmth leaving an abandoned blanket. Verse 8 Sometimes I find your name in a drawer, Written once, never updated. On the back of a receipt, On a card we never sent. I imagine the phone ringing, The old sound, the old pause. Still hoping it is you, Still knowing why it won’t be.
