[Verse] Shoes on the pavement, dust on my sleeve People pass through the blue of the eve A child swings high, then falls back down Day folds its hands around the town My phone keeps glowing, I let it ring Even the shadows have somewhere to be I count the gold leaving every wall Like it was never mine at all [Pre-Chorus] The sky turns quiet over my head Colors go soft, then gone instead [Chorus] I let the whole world go One little star at a time While I stand below With the dark in my hands tonight I let the whole world go Till the last blue line is gone Everybody keeps becoming I am still when the light moves on [Verse] Someone is dancing under a sign Someone is calling somebody mine Someone is closing a door with care Someone is breathing warm summer air I know the names of the fading shades Orange to silver, silver to gray The night comes down like a slow goodbye And leaves its shadows in my eyes [Pre-Chorus] I could move, but my feet don't know How to leave what I cannot hold [Chorus] I let the whole world go One little star at a time While I stand below With the dark in my hands tonight I let the whole world go Till the last blue line is gone Everybody keeps becoming I am still when the light moves on [Bridge] Maybe stillness is not the end Maybe the night is where we grow Maybe the stars I watched disappear Were only learning to shine from here [Chorus] I let the whole world go One little star at a time While I stand below With the dark in my hands tonight I let the whole world go Till the last blue line is gone Everybody keeps becoming I am still when the light moves on
