Empty Apartment

(album: Johnny's World - 2023)

Packing up boxes and throwing out old memories oh
Something about this just doesn't sit quite right with me oh
We were just kids when we moved in
So much has changed since then
I know that I should be happy but I just feel hollow again

Just like an empty apartment
Filled with old ghosts
Nothing turned out like we thought it
Was likely to go
Ooh
Everything's gone
And it's crystal clear
It's time to move on
But my heart is still here
In this empty apartment
Right back where we started

I guess somebody new will replace me and you in here soon
Oh I wonder if they'll feel the music we felt in this room
Just this piano's all that's left
Echoes of love songs play in my head
They spin around and around and the cycle starts over again

Just like an empty apartment
Filled with old ghosts
Nothing turned out like we thought it
Was likely to go
Ooh
Everything's gone
And it's crystal clear
It's time to move on
But my heart is still here
In this empty apartment
Right back where we started

Don't wanna say goodbye
'Cause it feels like the end of an era
I'll miss the way the light
Spills in through our small kitchen window
I know these memories
Will someday fade away
But part of me is always gonna stay
Here in this empty apartment
Right back where we started
