[Verse] The street keeps changing colors Names bloom and disappear I hold my breath in the doorway As evening bends the year The sky puts out its candles One quiet room at a time My hands are full of nowhere My feet forget the climb [Pre-Chorus] Everybody has somewhere to be I only have this fading blue I count the seconds leaving me Till sleep can carry me through [Chorus] I let the whole world go One little star at a time While I stand below With the dark in my hands tonight When I close my eyes, I know There’s a door in the midnight sky I let the whole world go And it finally feels like mine [Verse] The light falls off the rooftops Like gold from an open palm I watch it leave without me I watch the city calm But under all this stillness A painted river runs It calls me by a new name It says I’m not the one [Pre-Chorus] Everybody has somewhere to be I only have this fading blue But when the room goes soft and deep The colors lead me through [Chorus] I let the whole world go One little star at a time While I stand below With the dark in my hands tonight When I close my eyes, I know There’s a door in the midnight sky I let the whole world go And it finally feels like mine [Bridge] In sleep, my shadow grows wings The moon becomes a spinning floor Blue trees lean down and sing my name I am not outside anymore No maps, no borrowed shape to wear No need to prove that I belong I wake before the morning comes Still holding pieces of that song [Chorus] I let the whole world go One little star at a time While I stand below With the dark in my hands tonight When I close my eyes, I know There’s a door in the midnight sky I let the whole world go And it finally feels like mine
