[verse 1] there is a light under the door I keep watching it like it came for me or forgot to I hold my hands in the dark waiting for proof I open them nothing stays [pre-chorus] I don’t know where people go when the thread lets go of them not heaven not nothing somewhere we return to before we took shape [chorus] will you be there? not to save me not to make it better just there when I go quiet when I go too far inside when I stop reaching back will you know it’s still me? [verse 2] maybe you’d keep the wrong things a blurred photo a message I forgot I sent a song before I fixed it the part of me I would have deleted [pre-chorus 2] I don’t know where people go when we become formless not gone not staying somewhere we return to before we took shape [chorus] will you be there? not to save me not to make it better just there when I go quiet when I go too far inside when I stop reaching back will you know it’s still me? [bridge] maybe this is what I was afraid of not the end not the dark but being unmade a little at a time until I call it peace until I call it sleep until I stop calling it anything [final chorus] will you be there? not forever I know better than that just once when the thread lets go when there is almost nothing left to call me say my name not loud just enough so I don’t return all the way to before we took shape [instrumental breakdown] [cello solo] [outro]
