[Verse 1] I found your photograph beneath the sink Wrapped in a towel that still remembered rain The room was quiet enough to hear me think Your face looked back without a trace of blame [Pre-Chorus] I held it up against the kitchen light Dust turned slowly through the yellow beam Some things survive by staying out of sight Some names keep breathing underneath a dream [Chorus] If I go under, will you call me home? Will you reach past the water and the stone? I am not lost, I am learning how to move Through the dark blue room I made for you [Verse 2] The hallway clock stopped just before it rang A little mercy hidden in the walls I heard the floorboards answer when I sang Like something patient waiting for my fall [Pre-Chorus] I left the photograph beside the door Let morning find the person I became No, I don't need to carry it anymore But I still turn around when someone says your name [Chorus] If I go under, will you call me home? Will you reach past the water and the stone? I am not lost, I am learning how to move Through the dark blue room I made for you [Bridge] There is a place where all the noise goes thin Where every wound can loosen from the skin I saw a thread of silver in the deep And followed it before I fell asleep [Final Chorus] If I go under, I can find my way Past the old rooms and the words I couldn't say I am not yours, but I remember what was true The dark blue room is opening into blue [Outro] I leave the door I leave the light I rise slowly Into night
