Lyrics
[Verse 1] I found your letter in the kitchen drawer The paper curled where the rain had touched the floor Your careful words still knew my name But every season had rearranged [Pre-Chorus] I hold it close, then let it go Some things survive by staying low [Chorus] If you remember, leave a light on Somewhere beyond the years between us I am still learning how to carry The quiet shape of where you used to be [Verse 2] The blue cup waits beside the window frame A little crack runs through it just the same I hear your footsteps in the hall Then only the old house settling at all [Pre-Chorus] I say your name beneath my breath Not to bring you back, just not forget [Chorus] If you remember, leave a light on Somewhere beyond the years between us I am still learning how to carry The quiet shape of where you used to be [Bridge] Maybe the distance is not empty Maybe it keeps what we could not save Maybe the heart can make a doorway From every goodbye it was brave enough to say [Chorus] If you remember, leave a light on Somewhere beyond the years between us I am still learning how to carry The quiet shape of where you used to be [Outro] I found your letter in the kitchen drawer And held it gently, then closed the door
