Slow Motion Rhapsody 2 (version 2)

Verse

Your hands still hold the cup we used to share

Barely warm against my wrist this time

Every streetlight flickers like it's watching us

Leave together as if it's not our line

Cabs go by with someone else inside

Not you, just a silhouette that moves fast

You walk out slow across the orange glow

Never looking back at the place we had

I stay here in this empty room and breathe

For once something small I don't regret

Pre-Chorus

So what's left when all of our time is gone?

Is it just one final, long goodbye song?

I want to hold on but my heart says let go

And somehow that feels like the only way

To keep you close without making this harder still

Every goodbye I never thought I'd try

Chorus

This is our slow motion rhapsody

Bittersweet and full of ghosts

Every ending gets a little lighter now

Holding on to what we used to be

I love you more than words can say

But loving someone sometimes means letting go today

So hold my hand through the last line of light

And let this good-bye turn out alright

This is our slow motion rhapsody

Dancing softly into tomorrow

Every ending gets a little lighter now

Slow, slow, we're going home tonight

Verse

You leave your scarf across the chair I sit in

Folded up like you never left

I take it from the cushion where your cheek used to rest

And keep the scent of someone else's breath

The door swings open for a different crowd

But on this corner, we're still standing there

One taxi turns around at the very same light

Drives past with the one I know isn't you

Pre-Chorus

So what's left when all of our time is gone?

Is it just one final, long goodbye song?

I want to hold on but my heart says let go

And somehow that feels like the only way

To keep you close without making this harder still

Every goodbye I never thought I'd try

Chorus

This is our slow motion rhapsody

Bittersweet and full of ghosts

Every ending gets a little lighter now

Holding on to what we used to be

I love you more than words can say

But loving someone sometimes means letting go today

So hold my hand through the last line of light

And let this good-bye turn out alright

This is our slow motion rhapsody

Dancing softly into tomorrow

Every ending gets a little lighter now

Slow, slow, we're going home tonight

Bridge

Let me hold your coat around my shoulders here

Not as goodbye but as 'you'll come back

Keep the scarf you folded for yourself

And walk on out like nothing's been said

The whole world is still spinning gold around us

Even though this streetlight just turned red

Chorus

This is our slow motion rhapsody

Bittersweet and full of ghosts

Every ending gets a little lighter now

Holding on to what we used to be

I love you more than words can say

But loving someone sometimes means letting go today

So hold my hand through the last line of light

And let this good-bye turn out alright

This is our slow motion rhapsody

Dancing softly into tomorrow

Every ending gets a little lighter now
