[Spoken Intro] Don't tell the morning where we went. Let the embers cool, let the whole world keep our secret. [Verse 1] You left your silver ring Beside the weighing scale A little circle catching dust Like a moon that learned to fail I found your coat behind the door Still holding cedar smoke You said you'd only stay an hour Then the quiet learned your name [Pre-Chorus] Come closer, let the floorboards know How little we can say Your hand is warm against my coat And mine forgets the way [Chorus] If you want me, pull me under Past the water, past the thunder I will meet you where the river Turns the fallen branches silver Say my name and don't be careful Love is never clean or gentle With your heartbeat next to mine I can lose the warning signs [Verse 2] The neighbors' porch light blinked Through curtains thin and blue You traced a map across my wrist That led me back to you We drank the last of yesterday From chipped porcelain You laughed and covered up your mouth As if joy were evidence [Pre-Chorus] Come closer, let the floorboards know How little we can say Your hand is warm against my coat And mine forgets the way [Chorus] If you want me, pull me under Past the water, past the thunder I will meet you where the river Turns the fallen branches silver Say my name and don't be careful Love is never clean or gentle With your heartbeat next to mine I can lose the warning signs [Bridge] No promises on paper No witnesses, no plan Just your thumb across my knuckles And the courage of your hand If the morning comes to find us Let it find us as we are Two honest little fires Burning underneath the dark [Final Chorus] If you want me, pull me under Past the water, past the thunder I will meet you where the river Turns the fallen branches silver Say my name and don't be careful Love is never clean or gentle With your heartbeat next to mine I can lose the warning signs [Outro] Don't tell the morning where we went. Let it keep the secret.
