[Intro - Drone Bed, Signal Fading] [Verse 1 - Free Time, Solo Tenor] The key still fits the lock A coffee ring on the windowsill Two hooks beside the door One coat gone, one coat still The calendar stopped in March Someone's handwriting on the wall A plant that learned to need no one A bulb that did not fall [Pre-Chorus - Pulse Emerges, Rising Tension] We packed the light before the dark Left the walls their shadows back The rooms remember everything We practiced to forget [Chorus - Layered Low Harmonies, Falsetto Lift] All the doors close on their own now All the floors hold only cold What we built in twelve good winters Folds and folds and folds [Verse 2 - Sparse Percussion] Your handprints on the hallway glass Still reaching for a different room I left mine just beside them A parenthesis of bloom The staircase learned our separate weights The kitchen held our separate times We filled the same house differently With different silences [Pre-Chorus - Rising Tension] We packed the light before the dark Left the walls their shadows back The rooms remember everything We practiced to forget [Chorus - Layered Low Harmonies, Falsetto Lift] All the doors close on their own now All the floors hold only cold What we built in twelve good winters Folds and folds and folds [Bridge - Measured Silence, whispered] Not angry Not even sad now Just two people Standing in a floor plan Where something used to live [Final Chorus - Falsetto Decay, Signal Breaking] All the doors close on their own now All the floors hold only cold What we built in twelve good winters Folds [Outro - Drone Bed, Afterglow, Signal Lost] The key still fits the lock
