Hollow glass (वर्ज़न 2)

Verse

Porch light bleeding into the yard

Aunt's old blanket draped across my shoulder

Copper pennies lined up on the sill

Watching the last of the storm settle

Fencepost leaning out a little too far

Spider silk catching in the porch swing chain

I remember the way the wind used to blow through it

Picking up every small, lost thing I'd try to hold onto

Pre-Chorus

And now the sky's going pale and grey

But my chest still feels heavy with yesterday

Maybe this is just how love stays

A long slow fade instead of a goodbye

So I'll sit right here until it's gone

Holding on a little while longer than I should have known

Chorus

I'm holding onto nothing, hollow glass, empty frame

But the feeling still holds like water in the rain

I'm holding onto nothing, just a name and some breath

And somehow that's enough to keep me here

Verse

Your old guitar leaning against the door

Strings rusted where the sunlight used to shine through it

Yellow jacket hung from the hook outside the screen

Waiting for you like I'm waiting still

I know that sounds silly, I know it doesn't make sense

But something in my chest just won't let go of this place

Maybe it's not you at all but something we used to be

A warmth I lost and can only feel when the wind blows through

Pre-Chorus

And now the sky's going pale and grey

But my chest still feels heavy with yesterday

Maybe this is just how love stays

A long slow fade instead of a goodbye

So I'll sit right here until it's gone

Holding on a little while longer than I should have known

Chorus

I'm holding onto nothing, hollow glass, empty frame

But the feeling still holds like water in the rain

I'm holding onto nothing, just a name and some breath

And somehow that's enough to keep me here

Bridge

Maybe love doesn't have an end

Just a slow release when the storm finally clears

So I'll hold onto this and let it fade

A little slower than the rest of my years

Chorus

I'm holding onto nothing, hollow glass, empty frame

But the feeling still holds like water in the rain

I'm holding onto nothing, just a name and some breath

And somehow that's enough to keep me here
