Текст песни
[Verse 1] You kept the library card From the summer they changed the rules A blue stamp fading by the edge And a date we never used I found it in an old coat pocket At the bottom of the hall Held it up against the window Like it still could let me in at all [Pre-Chorus] Some things don't ask for saving They just wait where you left them lying [Chorus] And I keep a place for you In the quiet after closing Where the last page turns by itself And nobody knows we're going If the years come looking too I'll tell them what I always knew Some doors stay open in the mind And I keep a place for you [Verse 2] There was a note inside the atlas Underneath the folded sea Your handwriting leaned toward morning Though you wrote it just for me It said, "Take the longer crossing" So I did without a plan Past the ferries, past the warehouses Past the names I couldn't understand [Pre-Chorus] Some roads don't need a reason They just teach your feet a new direction [Chorus] And I keep a place for you In the quiet after closing Where the last page turns by itself And nobody knows we're going If the years come looking too I'll tell them what I always knew Some doors stay open in the mind And I keep a place for you [Bridge] Now the card is nearly paper Now the ink has lost its blue But I still hear that little promise In the things I choose to do [Final Chorus] And I keep a place for you Not a room, not a window Just a little line of light Where the old things can still echo If the years come looking too I'll tell them what I always knew Some doors stay open in the mind And I keep a place for you [Outro] I keep a place for you Between the pages I move through
