Grains in the Glass

[Verse 1] I trace your name In the fog on the window glass Watch it fade Like breath that never lasts Old photographs Curling at the corners in a cardboard box We used to talk all night Now it’s just ticking clocks [Chorus] We’re just grains in the glass Falling Tiny trails that the light shines through Every second that slips Keeps calling Hold on Let it go It’s all we can do Grains in the glass Still falling I blink and I’m losing you But this small Short life keeps calling Hold on Let it go It’s all we can do [Verse 2] Your dad’s old watch Still frozen on your favorite hour Kitchen tiles Where you danced and spilled the flowers Laughter in the stairwell Echoes down an empty hall I reach for your hand in the dark And touch nothing at all [Chorus] We’re just grains in the glass Falling Tiny trails that the light shines through Every second that slips Keeps calling Hold on Let it go It’s all we can do Grains in the glass Still falling I blink and I’m losing you But this small Short life keeps calling Hold on Let it go It’s all we can do [Bridge] So I’ll kiss you slow (hey) Like the last warm day of June Pour the coffee Burn the toast Sing your name across the room If the world falls quiet If the years turn cruel I’ll spend my one small heart Remembering you [Chorus] We’re just grains in the glass Falling Tiny trails that the light shines through Every second that slips Keeps calling Hold on Let it go It’s all we can do Grains in the glass Still falling I blink and I’m holding you In this small Short life I’m calling Hold on Let me stay here Holding you
