[Verse 1] I found your letter again Tucked in the seam Of the jacket chair By the window screen The blue corner bent Like it learned to wait Still your small line shook Through the quiet day [Pre-Chorus] And I used to think goodbye Was a locked-up door But every little trace Keeps asking for more It’s never all the way gone It just changes its name And it comes back soft When I say yours again [Chorus] Under the binding You’re still here Under the binding Still so clear You never left me You just turned around Under the binding You’re still around (Still around) [Verse 2] There’s a mark on the page Where you leaned too long And the cup ring halo That won’t go off I keep the same old light In the same old place Like the room might speak If I give it space [Pre-Chorus] So I won’t chase the ending Like it owns the song Some things only soften And stay along Every folded corner Every stained-out line Says you weren’t erased You were held inside [Chorus] Under the binding You’re still here Under the binding Still so clear You never left me You just turned around Under the binding You’re still around (Still around) [Bridge] Maybe love gets smaller Before it gets wide Maybe it hides in the margins And waits for the light If I trace the paper If I let it breathe I can feel your hand Still near mine in me [Final Chorus] Under the binding You’re still here Under the binding Still so clear You never left me You just turned around Under the binding You’re still around (Still around) Under the binding I hear your name Under the binding It stays the same You didn’t vanish You just changed the sound Under the binding You’re all around (All around)
