[Intro] [fingerpicked acoustic guitar] [Verse 1] [male vocals, breathy tone] The salt is on the table still The clock is stopped against its will I'm tracing circles in the dust A house of iron turning rust I haven't slept, I haven't moved There's nothing left for me to prove I'm just the shadow of the door Not walking through you anymore [Verse 2] [female vocals enter] I heard the rain begin to fall I saw your name upon the wall It's heavy work to stay this numb To wait until the feelings come [bass guitar and light percussion enter] The windows rattle in the frame It's time to call this by its name The air is thin and getting cold We've grown so young and yet so old [Chorus] [full band enters, driving drums, male and female vocal harmony] And oh, when your hands let go There's a silence we can finally know We're walking out of the dark we kept Waking up from the years we slept Yeah, when your hands let go Yeah, when your hands let go We find a rhythm in the undertow [Verse 3] [drums drop to kick and cross-stick snare, male vocals] The hallway isn't quite as long I'm not as weak as once I thought [female vocals join] The air is heavy with the rain But something here has lost its sting We're moving through it anyway I can feel my heart start beating fast [Chorus] [full band, piano chords, vocal harmonies] And oh, when your hands let go There's a silence we can finally know We're walking out of the dark we kept Waking up from the years we slept Yeah, when your hands let go Yeah, when your hands let go We find a rhythm in the undertow [Outro] [instrumentation fades to acoustic guitar and piano] When your hands let go Just let it go When your hands let go
