Every Little Room

Lyrics

[Verse 1] Your blue mug waits beside the sink I pass it twice before I think The hallway keeps your winter coat A quiet shape I can't let go [Pre-Chorus] I take the long way home again Past the corner where we used to bend [Chorus] I fill the hours with borrowed noise Old films, cold tea, and strangers' voices Anything to keep my hands from reaching For the door, for your name, for a reason I fill the hours till morning comes Pretend the missing doesn't weigh a ton But every little room still turns toward you And I don't know what else to do [Verse 2] Your photograph is face down now Still, I remember every line somehow The plant you gave me lost a leaf I water it like it believes [Pre-Chorus] I count the trains beyond the wall One more night, then not at all [Chorus] I fill the hours with borrowed noise Old films, cold tea, and strangers' voices Anything to keep my hands from reaching For the door, for your name, for a reason I fill the hours till morning comes Pretend the missing doesn't weigh a ton But every little room still turns toward you And I don't know what else to do [Bridge] Maybe healing isn't clean or fast Maybe letting go means letting pass The memories I carried like a flame Without mistaking warmth for your name [Final Chorus] I fill the hours, but less each day Leave one quiet minute where the ache can stay The little rooms still turn toward you But I turn back and make it through [Outro] Your blue mug waits beside the sink I let it be, and breathe, and think
