[Verse 1] The house keeps one room warm Though no one sleeps upstairs Your coat still hangs beside the door Collecting winter air I found the note beneath the clock The ink had bled to blue Three words torn across the fold: I waited here for you [Pre-Chorus] Now every stair gives back your name And every nail remembers I hold the match above the frame But cannot strike the ember [Chorus] If I call, will you answer from the other side? If I fall, will you catch what I could not hide? I built a cathedral out of everything we broke Now the bells are silent And the altar’s filled with smoke [Verse 2] The piano wears a film of dust Its keys are cold and split I play the tune you left unfinished One note short of it Outside, the garden has gone wild The roses choke the gate I cut a path through thorn and wire To meet you at the place [Pre-Chorus] Where all the promises we made Were nailed into the weather I hear the door begin to shake As if it knows us better [Chorus] If I call, will you answer from the other side? If I fall, will you catch what I could not hide? I built a cathedral out of everything we broke Now the bells are silent And the altar’s filled with smoke [Bridge] I am not asking for forgiveness I am asking for a sign Leave one candle in the window Leave the lock turned from inside [Final Chorus] If I call, will you answer from the other side? If I fall, will you catch what I could not hide? I built a cathedral out of everything we broke Now the bells are rising As the darkness loses hold [Outro] The house keeps one room warm And I can hear the floorboards move No one speaks behind the door But I know it’s you
