Turning Back to Something Good

מילים

[Verse 1] You left your coat on the kitchen chair One silver button, a thread pulled bare I held it up to the morning sun Like proof of a thing we had almost done [Pre-Chorus] I used to measure every word you said Now I let the silence clear my head [Chorus] Lana, I’m not waiting by the door I know what my two feet are for Your name can live inside the past But I’m learning how to leave it there at last Lana, let the old room lose its shape I’m more than what I couldn’t make The heart you thought you understood Is turning back to something good [Verse 2] I found your note beneath the sink Blue-ink promises, softened at the brink I read it once, then folded it small Put it with the things I don’t need to call [Pre-Chorus] The window catches rain against the glass A little weather, then it passes fast [Chorus] Lana, I’m not waiting by the door I know what my two feet are for Your name can live inside the past But I’m learning how to leave it there at last Lana, let the old room lose its shape I’m more than what I couldn’t make The heart you thought you understood Is turning back to something good [Bridge] If you hear me, don’t come running There’s no fire left to save I can bless the years behind me Without stepping in that wave [Final Chorus] Lana, I’m not waiting by the door I know what my two feet are for Your name can live inside the past And I’m finally free to let it last Lana, let the old room lose its shape I’m more than what I couldn’t make The heart you thought you understood Is turning back to something good [Outro] The chair is clear, the morning stays I walk out carrying my own name
