A Little More Air

Lyrics

[Verse 1] You left your blue cup by the sink The handle turned toward the wall I kept the note you wrote in haste Folded small beside the salt [Pre-Chorus] The room is learning how to be A room again, and not a scene [Chorus] I’m making space where your coat used to stay Letting the quiet take up its share One little habit at a time slips away And I can breathe with the empty chair I’m making space, not erasing your name Just giving tomorrow a little more air [Verse 2] The Sunday market changed its stalls The pear man moved beside the flowers I bought too many, like before Then laughed alone for half an hour [Pre-Chorus] Some days the old ache finds the door Some days I don’t invite it in anymore [Chorus] I’m making space where your coat used to stay Letting the quiet take up its share One little habit at a time slips away And I can breathe with the empty chair I’m making space, not erasing your name Just giving tomorrow a little more air [Bridge] If you pass this street again You’ll see the curtains open wide I’m not waiting by the window I’m just letting morning inside [Final Chorus] I’m making space where your coat used to stay Letting the quiet take up its share One little habit at a time slips away And I can breathe with the empty chair I’m making space, not erasing your name There’s room for the life I’m learning to wear [Outro] A little more air A little more air
