Lyrics
[Verse 1] You keep a small blue hour Folded underneath your tongue A minute no clock can borrow A place where the day comes undone I saw it pass through your fingers When the elevator lost its floor You laughed like a secret had found you Then left me wanting something more [Pre-Chorus] Don’t explain the missing number Don’t turn the page around There’s a door inside the silence And we’re standing on its sound [Chorus] Stay in the almost, stay in the in-between Where the rules lose their edges and the air turns green No promise, no photograph, no reason to pretend Just give me that borrowed second Before it has to end [Verse 2] You draw constellations backward On the fogged glass of a train Every line points somewhere distant Every name refuses blame I carry one of your fragments A silver thread under my skin When the whole world asks for answers I let the unfinished in [Pre-Chorus] Don’t explain the missing number Don’t turn the page around There’s a door inside the silence And we’re standing on its sound [Chorus] Stay in the almost, stay in the in-between Where the rules lose their edges and the air turns green No promise, no photograph, no reason to pretend Just give me that borrowed second Before it has to end [Bridge] If the future comes looking Tell it we stepped outside Left our names on the water Let the current decide And if you feel me fading Don’t reach to pull me through Some moments keep their power By never belonging to [Final chorus] Stay in the almost, stay in the in-between Where the rules lose their edges and the air turns green No promise, no photograph, no reason to pretend Just give me that borrowed second Before it has to end [Outro] A small blue hour Still folded on your tongue A minute no clock can borrow A place where we come undone
