[Verse 1] Your coat is folded by the door A paper moon across the floor The kettle cools, the room turns blue I keep a place here meant for you [Pre-Chorus] We made a map in pencil lines The rain erased the border signs I still can trace the way we went Though every street has come and bent [Chorus] If we were built for another day Would we still let the distance stay? I hold your name like a little flame Small enough to hide, too warm to tame When morning comes through the window frame I’ll start again, but not the same [Verse 2] The station clock is running slow Your train left hours ago A silver thread caught on my sleeve The only proof you used to leave [Pre-Chorus] I let the quiet fill the hall Then hear your footsteps in it all The things we meant remain unsaid Like notes we never learned to read [Chorus] If we were built for another day Would we still let the distance stay? I hold your name like a little flame Small enough to hide, too warm to tame When morning comes through the window frame I’ll start again, but not the same [Bridge] No grand goodbye, no final scene Just your cup beside the sink And all the plans we couldn’t keep Settling softly into sleep [Final Chorus] If we were built for another day Maybe the miles would fade away I hold your name, then let it go Like one last letter in the snow When morning comes through the window frame I’ll start again, and keep the change [Outro] Your coat is folded by the door I don’t wait there anymore
