[Verse 1] The room is hardly breathing now The candles burn so low Someone left a book behind On a chair no one will know Your fingers find the quiet keys Like they’ve been there all along Every silence in the air Turns itself into a song [Verse 2] I never cared for easy words They fade before they land Better let the spaces speak Better trust an open hand The bass walks through the midnight blue The brushes kiss the floor Nothing asks to be explained Nothing asks for more [Chorus] Meet me between the notes Where the heart keeps perfect time Not in all the things we say But in every pause and rhyme Stay a little longer now Let the city drift away Some stories bloom in whispers Long after yesterday [Verse 3] Rain has painted silver lines Across the windowpane Every passing headlight leaves A memory in the rain You smile without looking up The piano answers first Sometimes all a soul requires Is someone who won’t rehearse [Bridge] No grand goodbye No borrowed tears Only this small room Holding all these years [Final Chorus] Meet me between the notes Where tomorrow doesn’t rush Every fragile melody Wrapped inside the hush If the morning finds us here With the coffee growing cold We’ll leave the chairs exactly so And let the silence hold [Outro] One last chord One last sigh The night remembers So do I.
