All the Almosts

מילים

[Verse 1] I wonder if the kettle still Clicks off before you wake If the blue mug by the window Still has that little chip you made I wonder if the garden gate Still leans against the rain And whether you remember The last thing that I said [Pre-Chorus] Some questions keep their coats on And wait beside the door I carry them through ordinary days Like I did before [Chorus] I wonder where you are tonight What you reach for when you’re tired If you found a room that feels like home Or still sleep with the light on I wonder if you ever stop At the corner near the store And think of all the almosts We were too young to call by name [Verse 2] I wonder if your sister laughs The same way as she did If the old dog learned to climb the stairs Or if he still refuses them I wonder what the autumn does To that red bicycle The one you left behind me With the bell that wouldn’t ring [Pre-Chorus] Some memories lose their sharpness But never lose their weight They settle in the quiet parts And ask me to stay [Chorus] I wonder where you are tonight What you reach for when you’re tired If you found a room that feels like home Or still sleep with the light on I wonder if you ever stop At the corner near the store And think of all the almosts We were too young to call by name [Bridge] Maybe wondering is all I get Maybe that is all right Not every door needs opening Not every wrong needs made right But if your name crosses your mind When the first train starts to run I hope it feels less like losing And more like where we’re from [Final Chorus] I wonder where you are tonight What you reach for when you’re tired If you found a room that feels like home And let somebody inside I wonder if you ever stop At the corner near the store And think of all the almosts We were too young to call by name We were too young to call by name [Outro] I wonder, then I let it go I wonder, then I let it go
