[Verse 1] Start with a question Hanging in the room Hands on the table Hearts a little bruised How shall we do this? You trace a circle in the coffee ring I watch your eyes dodge everything How shall we do this? We got the history Stacked up in drawers Photos like ghosts pressed into the walls How shall we do this? [Chorus] Say it slow Say it true Are we ending Me and you? How shall we do this? Do we pack it all in boxes or let it burn Do we walk away fast Or twist and turn How shall we do this? Do we write it in a letter Leave it on the chair Or face each other shaking Meet each other there How shall we do this? [Verse 2] Your jacket by the doorway Still hanging on Playlist still queued with our old songs How shall we do this? Do we laugh about the mess Pretend it’s fine Or admit the tiny deaths One at a time How shall we do this? You say “We’ll be okay ” but your voice is tight I’m counting all the ways we both stopped fighting right How shall we do this? [Bridge] Maybe we start by telling the smallest truth Then a bigger one Then the hardest proof How shall we do this? Maybe we sit in silence Let the words arrive If we can’t save the love At least leave it alive How shall we do this? [Chorus]
