[Verse 1] I found your note beneath the plate Folded twice, the ink still wet It named the thing we wouldn't name Then left the rest for us to wreck [Pre-Chorus] You held the door I held my ground A hinge complained But made no sound [Chorus] If we come together, let it be awake No borrowed promise, no convenient shape Put your hand beside mine, not over it We can make a bond that does not counterfeit [Verse 2] The hallway narrowed after rain Our coats were heavy on the peg You asked me what I meant to keep I said, the truth, and nothing less [Pre-Chorus] The room grew small The question stayed A line appeared Because we made it [Chorus] If we come together, let it be awake No borrowed promise, no convenient shape Put your hand beside mine, not over it We can make a bond that does not counterfeit [Drop] Turn toward me Not through me Leave the lock Where we can see [Bridge] There is a mercy in refusal There is a cost to being clear I would rather lose the version That required you to disappear [Instrumental] [Final Chorus] If we come together, let it be awake No borrowed promise, no convenient shape Put your hand beside mine, not over it We can make a bond that does not counterfeit [Outro] The note is dry The plate is clean The door stays open By consent
