[Verse 1] Sitting where the grass meets the dirt Counting the ways I let it go The air tastes like iron and rain I thought I was being honest But I was just being loud Now the silence is heavy as a stone In my pocket where I keep my hands (Keeping my hands cold) (So cold)
[Chorus] I’m not trying to fix the break Just trying to feel the edges It’s a holy kind of ache Knowing what I put you through I’m finally coming down (Coming down slow)
[Verse 2] The wine in the glass is dark Like the water under the pier I remember how you looked in that blue shirt Telling me I didn’t have to stay I should have held my breath Instead of wasting all that air Trying to prove I was right (Wasted it all) (Every bit of it)
[Chorus] I’m not trying to fix the break Just trying to feel the edges It’s a holy kind of ache Knowing what I put you through I’m finally coming down (Down)
[Bridge] The tide doesn’t ask to come in It just follows the pull I was fighting against the moon Trying to keep my cup full But it’s easier to let it spill (Let it spill) (Let it all go)
[Outro] Walking back to the door I don’t want to run anymore (No more running) Just the salt on my skin (Salt on my skin) Accepting where I’ve been (Mmm) (Where I’ve been) (Yeah) (The weight of it) (The weight of it all)
Smoothing Edges
Lyrics
[Intro] (Mmm, yeah)
[Verse] I'm just smoothing the edges of the rug moving slow, like the ice in my glass yeah, I think it's raining again tapping on the glass like it wants in I found that old sweater under the chair the one with the loose thread it’s softer than I remembered maybe I’ll just sit here for a bit the tea is still too hot to drink anyway it’s okay, really I’m just catching my breath
[Bridge] (You know, sometimes it's just nice to stay still) (Yeah)
[Outro] I think I'm okay now I think I'm okay now I think I'm okay now I think I'm okay now
The Root
Lyrics
[Intro] (Ooh) (Mmm)
[Verse 1] I found my keys on the table Right where I left them a year ago But my hands feel heavier now I don't reach for what I used to The air is thick in this house But I can breathe just fine I looked at the marks on the door I am taller than I was back then
[Chorus] I am a different kind of man (Different man) The storm didn't kill the root (Kill the root) I am standing in the light (In the light) Thankful for the wreckage (So thankful)
[Verse 2] I used to run from the thunder Now I just stand and let it soak You said I would never make it Well look at me right now I took the salt and the fire And I made a brand new heart I don't need the things I lost They were too small for me anyway
[Chorus] I am a different kind of man (Different man) The storm didn't kill the root (Kill the root) I am standing in the light (In the light) Thankful for the wreckage (So thankful)
[Bridge] It took a long time to see That the breaking was the healing It took a hard road to walk To find out where I belong I am home (He's home) I am finally home
[Chorus] I am a different kind of man (Different man) The storm didn't kill the root (Kill the root) I am standing in the light (In the light) Thankful for the wreckage (So thankful)
[Outro] I'm different now (Yes he is) Look at my face (Look at him) I am standing tall (So tall) The root is strong (The root is strong) I survived it (He survived) I am a new man (New man) Yeah (Yeah) I'm different
No Questions Asked
Lyrics
[Intro] (Mmm) (Yeah)
[Verse 1] I left the world at the door The keys are heavy in my pocket You don't ask where I have been Or why I am back so late You just lean your head on my knee Waiting for me to find my center Your fur is soft against my palm The only thing that feels real
[Chorus] We don't need to say a thing (No words) I am okay with the silence now (Just us) Everything else is too loud But here the air is steady Just the weight of you staying close (Staying close)
[Verse 2] Outside they want too many answers People expecting me to be something But you just watch the dust settle In the soft light from the hallway No expectations in those eyes Just a simple kind of belonging I can feel my heart slowing down Matching the pace of your breathing
[Chorus] We don't need to say a thing (No words) I am okay with the silence now (Just us) Everything else is too loud But here the air is steady Just the weight of you staying close (Staying close)
[Bridge] Maybe this is the only truth Not the noise or the heavy lifting Just a body resting near another Safe within these four walls (Safe right here)
[Chorus] We don't need to say a thing (No words) I am okay with the silence now (Just us) Everything else is too loud But here the air is steady Just the weight of you staying close (Staying close)
[Outro] Just stay right here (Right here) Don't move a muscle (Don't move) The silence is enough (It is enough) (Mmm) (Yeah)
The Resonance
Lyrics
[Intro] (Ooh) (Mmm)
[Verse 1] The first few notes begin to play The air around me starts to change I close my eyes and let it flow Finding places only we know
[Chorus] Oh this melody remains The only way I call your name Every rise and every fall I can finally have it all (Have it all) Just one song and I am home
[Verse 2] We were driving toward the coast The radio played this very soul Your hand was resting on my own A moment carved in every tone
[Chorus] Oh this melody remains The only way I call your name Every rise and every fall I can finally have it all (Have it all) Just one song and I am home
[Bridge] Don't let the silence take the light Sing it louder through the night I am reaching for the high (Reaching high) Where our spirits never die
[Chorus] Oh this melody remains The only way I call your name Every rise and every fall I can finally have it all (Have it all) Just one song and I am home
[Outro] It takes me home (Yeah) Stay right here in the sound (In the sound) Don't ever stop (Ooh) (Every note) (Every note) (Home)
Pale Yellow
Lyrics
[Intro] (Mmm) (Yeah)
[Verse 1] Found that picture in the shoebox The edges are turning a pale yellow Sun must have caught it on the shelf Your face is getting hard to find Just a soft blur where you used to be I can't see the shirt you wore The one with the holes in the collar Funny how the paper just gives up
[Chorus] You’re fading out of the frame Losing the shape of your name I’m trying to remember the colors But it's all turning grey (Everything's turning grey)
[Verse 2] The chemicals are finally breaking down Leaving me with nothing to hold I don't think I mind the lack of detail It’s easier when I can’t see the look The one you gave me before you left It’s just a blank space now
[Chorus] You’re fading out of the frame Losing the shape of your name I’m trying to remember the colors But it's all turning grey (Everything's turning grey)
[Outro] Just a piece of card (Just a piece of card) Turning white (Turning white) I’m forgetting the rest (Forgetting the rest) It’s okay It’s fine (Mmm) Just let it go (Let it go) White paper Nothing left to see (Nothing left) Yeah
Clear The Air
Lyrics
[Intro] (Ooh, yeah) (Just listen)
[Verse 1] Rain is slick on the pavement We’re sitting heavy in the car The dashboard light hits your face I see the way you’re holding back Like you’re waiting for a sign To tell you it’s safe to stay
[Chorus] Can we find where the wire broke Bring it back to the honest parts I don’t want the silence to win (Just hear me out) Give me a minute of your time (Stay for a while) I’m opening every door I have
[Verse 2] Your hand is still on the leather Cold to the touch while I’m heat Remember how we used to slide No friction in the way we spoke Now there’s a weight in the air Heavy as the clouds above
[Bridge] I’m laying my pride on the floor Stripping away the layers I need you to look at me Really see the man I am (Don't turn away) (Don't let us go)
[Chorus] Can we find where the wire broke Bring it back to the honest parts I don’t want the silence to win (Just hear me out) Give me a minute of your time (Stay for a while) I’m opening every door I have
[Outro] Just a minute more (Honest parts) Let the air clear out (Every door I have) (Ooh, open) Stay for a while (Stay with me) (Yeah)
The Back Gate
Lyrics
[Intro]
[Verse] Finally fixed the latch on the gate it stayed shut all afternoon a small win for today then I burnt the toast a bit scraped the char into the basin it’s whatever (it’s whatever) I think I did okay mostly I guess maybe the laundry can wait
[Bridge] The tea is getting cold on the table The steam is all gone I should probably just go to bed
[Outro] Tomorrow is just tomorrow Tomorrow is just tomorrow Tomorrow is just tomorrow Tomorrow is just tomorrow (yeah) (tomorrow)
Phantom Skin
Lyrics
[Intro] (Ooh) (Mmm)
[Verse 1] The light hits the floor at an angle I see the dust dancing where you stood I reach out but touch nothing but heat A phantom warmth against my palm The air feels thick with your presence Even though the room is still I can feel the grain of your voice Tugging at the edge of my ear
[Pre-Chorus] I’m breathing you in Filling my lungs with the salt of you Suspended in this quiet (Holding on) (Just holding on)
[Chorus] Heavy on my skin (So heavy) I feel your gravity pulling me thin Across the water, across the state Your shape is etched in this space (Still here) (You're still here)
[Verse 2] My blood is humming a low frequency A slow vibration under the surface I can almost feel the weight of your head Leaning hard against my shoulder I’m not lonely when the world stops Because the pressure of you stays Like a physical stain on the afternoon Making it hard to move
[Chorus] Heavy on my skin (So heavy) I feel your gravity pulling me thin Across the water, across the state Your shape is etched in this space (Always) (You're always here)
[Bridge] Let the walls dissolve The distance is just a lie we tell I can feel you breathing on my neck Don't wake me from this weight (Don't wake me) (Let me sink)
[Outro] Stay right here In the gap between breaths (Just a little longer) (I feel you) Your shape in the space (Mmm) (Still here)
The Rhythm
Lyrics
[Intro] (Ooh, ooh) (Keep it right there)
[Verse 1] Rest your weight on me Feel the skin go warm Counting every beat Like a heavy velvet drum (Heavy drum) Nothing moves outside Nothing else is loud
[Pre-Chorus] I like the way you lean in Catching every little vibration (Vibration) It’s a language only we speak No translation
[Chorus] This is the rhythm Steady and slow Keeping us level When the tide is low (Steady, steady) No words required Just the way your heart follows mine (Follows mine)
[Verse 2] Light hits the floor Dust dancing in the air We could stay all day Cancel every plan we made (Forget 'em) Silk against your shoulder Looking like a masterpiece In the quietest way
[Chorus] This is the rhythm Steady and slow Keeping us level When the tide is low (Steady, steady) No words required Just the way your heart follows mine
[Bridge] Don't you feel the sync? Matching up the pace Two worlds in a circle In this tiny space (In this space) It’s the luxury of knowing We don't have to chase a thing
[Chorus] This is the rhythm Steady and slow Keeping us level When the tide is low (Steady, steady) No words required Just the way your heart follows mine
[Outro] (Steady now) (Keep that count) Just the rhythm (Don't let go) Yeah (Ooh) (Just stay)
