the window keeps the shape of yesterday
but morning always takes the glass away
啦啦啦
i found an old key sleeping in a drawer
it knows a door that isn't mine anymore
the ink inside my notebook turned to grey
but every crossed out word still knows my name
the train keeps folding cities into lines
i watch my younger face cars and the signs
we used to think the world was something wide
now every road is somewhere we arrive
the boy keeps the silence i once knew
a fading number waits beside the door
the rooms are smaller than i can recall
maybe i was younger when they felt so tall
the clocks forgot to wait for me somewhere to see
but we're farther from the street
i keep a little light behind my eyes
for all the rooms i left without goodbye
and every door must close behind our feet
then let the echo keep what we we can't keep
i thought the world would teach me how to stay
it only taught me how to walk away
na na na 啊
my love
your number still begins the way it did
the silence learned to live between our ears
the photograph is bending at the side
we're frozen there before we learn goodbye
there's still a shirt with signatures in blue
the names are clear the people's look for you
we promised nothing would be coming home
funny how a place can stay and
not be home the tears grow shorter every year
we trade our lives in sentences and disappear
there are a thousand things are meant to say
but time has made us do it in someday
where the cross forgot to wait
for somewhere the sea grew farther from the street
i keep a little light behind my eyes
for all the rooms i with a goodbye
if every door was closed behind our feet
then let the echo keep what we can't keep
i thought the world would teach me how to
it only taught me how to walk away
if i just sent one letter down the years
i wouldn't tell that boy what disappears
i'd leave an empty page between the
for all the things he'll understand in time
i wouldn't ask him where he wants to go
some roads are only clear once you let go
somewhere the crowd i saw it moving without silent night
somewhere avoid names are written down
i keep a little light behind my eyes
now through the past slow it now
if every road must take a piece of me
i'll leave one window facing towards the sea
and when the night has changed the view outside
i know that i was young on the other side
beside some windows glowing places i once knew
i walk ahead but leave one night there too
