Waves Take the Shape of Us (النسخة 2)

Verse

Coffee gone cold on the dashboard cup

Radio static where the morning should be

Your scarf still smells like salt and wood smoke

Folding up your sweater, folding me

I'm keeping every ticket stub and map

Every corner we turned that got us this far at all

Pre-Chorus

So what do I keep when I let you go

Is it the leaving or learning how to know

That an ending can still be wide open sea

Not just a door, but a doorway opening free

Chorus

Waves take the shape of us before we hit land

Salt still stinging my skin where your hand passed through

I'm floating in the quiet of what could have been

Better than holding on to nothing again

This is how I learn to love the letting go

Turning sorrow into gold and low

Verse

Your favorite coffee mug on a shelf above

Unopened book by the window, never touched with love

The silver chain you left behind, still catching light

Every goodbye's got its own long night

I'm keeping your voice like it was summer rain

Not to pine for something, but for what remains

Pre-Chorus

So what do I keep when I let you go

Is it the leaving or learning how to know

That an ending can still be wide open sea

Not just a door, but a doorway opening free

Chorus

Waves take the shape of us before we hit land

Salt still stinging my skin where your hand passed through

I'm floating in the quiet of what could have been

Better than holding on to nothing again

This is how I learn to love the letting go

Turning sorrow into gold and low

Bridge

Maybe endings aren't closures at all

Just a shape that holds before it falls

Every wave that leaves the ocean's edge

Carries something back, carries what it bled

Chorus

Waves take the shape of us before we hit land

Salt still stinging my skin where your hand passed through

I'm floating in the quiet of what could have been

Better than holding on to nothing again

This is how I learn to love the letting go

Turning sorrow into gold and low
