Lyrics
[Verse 1] You set your pages by the window seat A salt breeze turns the corners as you read The café lights come on, the chairs draw near You tell them how the first line took a year [Pre-Chorus] You crossed out whole beginnings, kept one name Then learned a stubborn story has its pace [Chorus] Tell us how the pages found their way Through the long, unsure and ordinary days Every doubt became a door you walked into And tonight the sea is listening to you [Verse 2] You wrote between the shifts and washing cups While rain tapped time against the shutters shut Your heroine kept changing what she knew Until her courage sounded much like you [Pre-Chorus] A hundred little endings came and went You stayed until the last one made sense [Chorus] Tell us how the pages found their way Through the long, unsure and ordinary days Every doubt became a door you walked into And tonight the sea is listening to you [Bridge] You turn the final page and let it rest No perfect road, just doing what comes next A quiet hand lifts high a coffee cup The room smiles back; you’ve said enough [Final chorus] Tell us how the pages found their way Through the long, unsure and ordinary days Every doubt became a door you walked into And tonight the sea is listening to you [Outro] By the window, salt air, folded pages A new story waiting in the morning
