[TITLE] [BΣFØЯΣ ŤĦΣ L1ǤĦŤ ǤØΣ5] [VERSE 1] We spent tomorrow like loose change Let it ring and roll away Thought the sky would keep returning Every time we looked away Now the blue hour leans against me Every color moving slow I have less light than I came with Still enough to leave a glow [PRE 1] I won’t make tomorrow owe me I won’t make the silence choose Some things only need a doorway Not a hand to pull them through [CHORUS] Before the light goes Let me say it without asking You never lost your place in me Just because you moved alone I don’t need the old shape back I don’t need you coming home I just want one window glowing Before the light goes [POST-CHORUS] [breath stack widening] Let it glow Let it glow Before the light goes [VERSE 2] The farthest light arrives too late To know the eyes it finds It crosses all that dark alone Then wakes inside the night A meaning can keep moving Without knowing where it lands Not every open hand is empty Some are only letting go [PRE 2] I won’t make tomorrow owe me I won’t ask the past to move Some things only need a doorway Not a hand to pull them through [CHORUS] Before the light goes Let me say it without asking You never lost your place in me Just because you moved alone I don’t need the old shape back I don’t need you coming home I just want one window glowing Before the light goes [BRIDGE] [drums fall away] [lead nearly dry] Time will make another meaning From the things we couldn’t know Distance never changed your measure Only what my hands could carry What I could not carry Was never yours to owe [FINAL CHORUS] [full-width pads] [octave vocal enters] Before the light goes I can say it without asking You never lost your place in me Just because you moved alone I don’t need the old shape back I can let the old shape go I just want one window glowing After the light goes [FINAL POST-CHORUS] [upper harmony] Let it glow Let it glow After the light goes Let it glow Somewhere beyond what we know I just want one window glowing After the light goes [OUTRO] [carrier tone fading beneath vocal] After the light goes One window glowing After the light goes
