[Verse 1] There’s a plate set for two And one stays cold Little shoes by the door Still hold the mold I fold your sweater slow Like it can’t know [Pre-Chorus] They said time would mend But time just bends Around your name Around that day [Chorus] How do we live? How do we breathe? When love keeps walking And leaves a seed? I’m still right here But you were mine Outliving our children Feels like a crime (outliving our children) [Verse 2] The birthday cake stayed whole On the kitchen table Candles burned down low Like they were able Your laughter in the walls Hits me like rain [Pre-Chorus] I still hear your feet In every room I still set out one more For the missing you [Chorus] How do we live? How do we breathe? When love keeps walking And leaves a seed? I’m still right here But you were mine Outliving our children Feels like a crime (outliving our children) [Bridge] If grief is a house I know every floor I knock on your silence Then I knock once more If there’s a place beyond I hope you’re near Holding all my tenderness Holding all my fear [Final Chorus] How do we live? How do we breathe? When love keeps walking And leaves a seed? I’m still right here But you were mine Outliving our children Feels like a crime Outliving our children I say your names tonight (outliving our children)
