[Verse 1] I kept a matchbook in the drawer beside the bed Each empty square held something I had never said The window lifted dust across the wooden floor You asked me what I was still waiting for [Pre-Chorus] I counted every breath against the radiator A small heat rising through the paper [Chorus] You are the room I return to The cup left warm beside the sink I lose the shape of every answer Then find the place where we still think [Verse 2] The hallway bulb went out around half past ten Your coat was hanging there like someone might come in I touched the sleeve and felt the cold move through A life can leave before it leaves you [Chorus] You are the room I return to The cup left warm beside the sink I lose the shape of every answer Then find the place where we still think [Bridge] No altar, no witness, no polished stone Just your hand resting lightly on my own If this is all the mercy we receive Stay close enough for me to breathe [Final Chorus] You are the room I return to The quiet mark beneath the paint I lose the shape of every answer And keep the part I cannot name [Outro] The matchbook waits inside the drawer The window opens once more I leave the room without a door
