I hear the rattle in the walls Every crooked frame I pass I could straighten every picture I could make the moment last But the night is getting quiet And the streetlights carry on Some things can stay unfinished Without everything going wrong So leave it where it lands tonight Let the river miss a stone Not every door needs closing Not every road leads home I can hear the noise behind me I don't have to turn around Some things can stay unanswered Some things can stay on the ground I've been keeping little matches For every fire I might find Holding conversations Three more times inside my mind Maybe I can miss a detail Maybe someone else can know Maybe I don't need a reason For every place I choose to go So leave it where it lands tonight Let the river miss a stone Not every door needs closing Not every road leads home I can hear the noise behind me I don't have to turn around Some things can stay unanswered Some things can stay on the ground The world can lean a little It won't fall because I don't And tonight I'll let it happen Let it be what it becomes
