[Intro] [fingerpicked acoustic guitar, soft kick drum] [Verse 1] [breathy male vocals] You showed me cedar roots by the banks Morning's hush, you just grinned Bare feet in cool water You told me where water bends it turns back How names grow from rivers I said little in grass at my shins Wonder what you heard in my quiet [Chorus] [electric bass enters, brushed snare] Too much I don't say But it's there in the way I listen Your words thin air If home's a river I'm drifting on your hands Like sun slipping through your fingers Catching light where I can [Instrumental Break] [melodic electric guitar solo with light delay and reverb, acoustic guitar continues fingerpicking] [Verse 2] Small songs you hum them sideways Braids weaving through your long hair You never ask for promises Teach me old words with your stare Evening's rest on shoulders I stumble through what I can share Catching in my quiet [Chorus] Too much I don't say But it's there in the way I listen Your words thin air If home's a river I'm drifting on your hands Like sun slipping through your fingers Catching light where I can [Bridge] [drums and bass drop out, solo acoustic guitar] I keep notes in the margin Silence is safe Tangled up in your laugh I'm unafraid [Instrumental Outro] [full band returns, electric guitar lead melody, fading out] [Outro] [vocals return, soft and intimate] Showed me the river I'm still learning how to stay
