Hold Still in Amber (version 2)

Verse

Bottle in the sink, your sweater on the back of chair

A memory from you that's still out there

Pre-Chorus

So why do I hold it close to my chest?

Why does the empty space between us feel like a rest

Chorus

Hold still in amber, let the hours slide

This is not goodbye but just a shade

Every sunset leaves a glow behind

And I'll be holding onto this until we're aligned

Verse

Your keys on my kitchen counter where they used to lie

A photograph of us from before you said goodbye

I know it's time to move along the line

But I need to hold still in amber for just one more sign

Pre-Chorus

So why do I hold it close to my chest?

Why does the empty space between us feel like a rest

Chorus

Hold still in amber, let the hours slide

This is not goodbye but just a shade

Every sunset leaves a glow behind

And I'll be holding onto this until we're aligned

Bridge

Maybe distance isn't losing what's real

Maybe it's just letting go of how things used to feel

I'm learning to breathe in the gold

Learning that love is not something to hold

Chorus

Hold still in amber, let the hours slide

This is not goodbye but just a shade

Every sunset leaves a glow behind

And I'll be holding onto this until we're aligned
