Sweeter on the Comedown

Verse

Packed your boots by the kitchen door

Left one sock on the hardwood floor

Streetlight's leaking through the blinds

Coffee's cold but I don't mind

Twenty-six words on a napkin note

Say more than the ones you spoke

I'm folding up this borrowed year

Learning how to breathe out here

Pre-Chorus

So what do I do with all this light

Still glowing from a goodbye

Tell me how the ending feels this right

Chorus

It's sweeter on the comedown

When the high goes quiet, soft and slow

Sweeter on the comedown

Every ache still got a golden glow

You leave me lighter than you found me

That's the kindest thing I know

It's sweeter on the comedown

Watching all this heavy turn to gold

Verse

Found your jacket, gave it to the wind

Watched it dance where the block ends

Three years folded in a shoebox tight

Photographs still catching light

I'm not broken, I'm just bare

Standing honest in the air

Every mirror's got a different view

Turns out I look good without you too

Pre-Chorus

So what do I do with all this light

Still glowing from a goodbye

Tell me how the ending feels this right

Chorus

It's sweeter on the comedown

When the high goes quiet, soft and slow

Sweeter on the comedown

Every ache still got a golden glow

You leave me lighter than you found me

That's the kindest thing I know

It's sweeter on the comedown

Watching all this heavy turn to gold

Bridge

Maybe love's not built to stay

Maybe it's just built to change the shape of me

And I can thank you for the wreckage

Thank you for the wreckage setting me free

Every door that closes soft

Opens somewhere I ain't been

I'm not scared of empty rooms

I'm learning how to shine again

Chorus

It's sweeter on the comedown

When the high goes quiet, soft and slow

Sweeter on the comedown

Every ache still got a golden glow

You leave me lighter than you found me

That's the kindest thing I know

It's sweeter on the comedown

Watching all this heavy turn to gold

Turning heavy into gold
