The Shape of Goodbye

[Verse 1] You leave your key beside the sink Like you might need it in an hour I watch your fingers trace the rim Of a chipped blue cup gone cold [Pre-Chorus] We know the road beneath our feet Ends somewhere neither one can mend Still you lean your shoulder into mine And I let the warning bend [Chorus] Come close, though we know what it costs Though every promise cuts both ways I keep reaching for the match we dropped And call the burning by your name If you are the thing that undoes me I won’t pretend I don’t know why I’d rather fall with you beside me Than learn the shape of goodbye [Verse 2] Your shoes are waiting by the door Mine are turned toward them again You say we should be kinder now Then touch my wrist and count to ten [Pre-Chorus] There’s a crack running through the quiet There’s a truth we never say You ask if I can still forgive you I move closer anyway [Chorus] Come close, though we know what it costs Though every promise cuts both ways I keep reaching for the match we dropped And call the burning by your name If you are the thing that undoes me I won’t pretend I don’t know why I’d rather fall with you beside me Than learn the shape of goodbye [Bridge] When morning puts the room back right Will you still be here at all? Your hand is warm against my sleeve I hear the old restraint give way [Final Chorus] Come close, though we know what it costs Though every promise cuts both ways I keep reaching for the match we dropped And let it take what it may If you are the thing that undoes me Then let the truth be mine to choose I’d rather break here in your keeping Than wake untouched and lose you I’d rather break here in your keeping Than wake untouched and lose you [Outro] Your key is waiting by the sink And I am still here when you turn
