4:57🎼(12)“Leave a Little Room”

[Verse 1] You sit where the blue line meets the rails Boots dusty from a town that never stays A paper ticket folded in your palm And a suitcase carrying what you couldn't save [Pre-Chorus] The loudspeaker cracks, then fades away You lift your eyes but don't explain [Chorus] If you're leaving, leave a little room For the person you'll become Every mile can loosen one old truth Every door can let in sun You don't need to know the ending You just need to hear the train And trust the hands that packed your heart Will unpack it somewhere new again [Verse 2] Caramel curls caught in the morning wind Denim sleeves rolled back from yesterday The rails draw silver lines into the distance Like a promise no one has to make [Pre-Chorus] A child waves from a window as it moves You wave back, and something in you moves too [Chorus] If you're leaving, leave a little room For the person you'll become Every mile can loosen one old truth Every door can let in sun You don't need to know the ending You just need to hear the train And trust the hands that packed your heart Will unpack it somewhere new again [Bridge] Maybe home is not a place you find Maybe it's the courage to arrive With the dust still clinging to your shoes And a wider world behind your eyes [Final Chorus] If you're leaving, leave a little room For the person you'll become Let the tracks run underneath the blue Let the morning carry on You don't need to know the ending You just need to take your place And meet the life that waits beyond With an open heart and an unhurried face [Outro] The platform empties, engines fade You rise and shoulder what you made
