[Verse 1] I kept your number folded in my coat Beside a paper map with half the roads erased The kettle clicked; the hallway clock ran slow I heard your key turn, then I let the silence stay [Pre-Chorus] If I could hold one moment still I'd choose the door before you leave But every room remembers more Than either one of us can keep [Chorus] Take me where the morning opens wide Where the old walls fall away behind us I don't need a reason, just your hand in mine We can start again before the world can find us [Drop] [Instrumental Hook] [Verse 2] Your blue cup's waiting by the kitchen sink The little crack you said you'd mend someday I traced it once, then watched the daylight move And found a softer way to let it stay [Pre-Chorus] If I could hold one moment still I'd choose the door before you leave But every room remembers more Than either one of us can keep [Chorus] Take me where the morning opens wide Where the old walls fall away behind us I don't need a reason, just your hand in mine We can start again before the world can find us [Drop] [Instrumental Hook] [Bridge] No grand goodbye, no final scene Just one deep breath, then room to leave The life we had still made us whole Now let the next day take control [Final Chorus] Take me where the morning opens wide Where the old walls fall away behind us I don't need a reason, just your hand in mine We can start again before the world can find us [Outro] The kettle cools, the hallway clock moves on I leave the porch light burning till the dawn
