[Verse 1] You leave your blue coat on my chair As if the room still needs you there I count the buttons, one by one Until the morning has begun [Pre-Chorus] Your name is small inside my mouth A paper house the rain wears out I hold it softly, hold it still Though every room bends to your will [Chorus] If you could see me through the glass I’d be the shape you couldn’t grasp A little breath, a borrowed room A red thread disappearing into blue And if you call, I won’t pretend I’m not still waiting at the end Where all the quiet opens wide And leaves no place for me to hide [Verse 2] The kettle cools beside the sink I lose an hour before I blink Your photograph faces the wall But I can feel it when I fall [Pre-Chorus] The hallway keeps your measured step A phantom rhythm I protect I turn the lock, I kill the light Then let you visit every night [Chorus] If you could see me through the glass I’d be the shape you couldn’t grasp A little breath, a borrowed room A red thread disappearing into blue And if you call, I won’t pretend I’m not still waiting at the end Where all the quiet opens wide And leaves no place for me to hide [Bridge] Come close enough to disappear Put your unfinished sentence here No promises, no rescue line Just let your silence rest in mine [Final Chorus] If you could see me through the glass I’d be the shape you couldn’t grasp A little breath, a borrowed room A red thread disappearing into blue And if you call, I won’t pretend I’m not still waiting at the end Where all the quiet opens wide And takes the empty from my side [Outro] Your blue coat hangs beside the door I don’t know what I’m waiting for
