Softer Place to Land

Lyrics

[Verse 1] We learned the shape of every hard day By the quiet after the call You held my sleeve at the station While the winter leaned on us all [Pre-Chorus] We don't have to lose the memory To let the hurt release Just close your eyes beside me And let the room bring peace [Chorus] We can remember, we can breathe Lay the weight down gently Close your eyes, stay here with me Let the ache unfasten slowly We don't erase what carried us through We make a softer place to land The hardest days are still our story But they don't own our hands [Verse 2] Your blue cup chipped by the handle Still sits beside the sink Somehow the smallest ordinary things Give us a little room to think [Pre-Chorus] We don't have to lose the memory To let the hurt release Just close your eyes beside me And let the room bring peace [Chorus] We can remember, we can breathe Lay the weight down gently Close your eyes, stay here with me Let the ache unfasten slowly We don't erase what carried us through We make a softer place to land The hardest days are still our story But they don't own our hands [Bridge] If it comes back in the morning If the old fear finds its way I'll be right here in the doorway We can take it day by day [Final Chorus] We can remember, we can breathe Lay the weight down gently Close your eyes, stay here with me Let the ache unfasten slowly We don't erase what carried us through We make a softer place to land The hardest days are still our story And now we face them hand in hand [Outro] Close your eyes I'm here with you
