Every Window Holds Two Hands (versione 2)

Verse

Dusty porch swing still sways to nothing

Paint's peeling off the screen door frame

Your mom's garden still out front, blooming

Same old chair where my grandma sat just like that

Water pipe leaked and rusted on the corner

Nobody fixed it, nobody had time

Pre-Chorus

It's funny how a place can hold your whole life in it

Like every window holds two hands still

I'm standing here with mine outstretched

Waiting for the dust to settle before I walk it

Chorus

Every window holds two hands that once held this one

Holding on tight, never let go till the sun was done

Every porch swing remembers what it lost in the night

Still it keeps rocking slow like everything's alright

This old house don't mind me, don't need a light

It already knows my name and where I sleep tonight

Verse

Basement door creaks on a hinges loose now

Same old trunk where you kept your school books

Photograph curled up behind the stove

Your smile still laughing like it never left the room

I found your letter under the floorboards

Folded soft like a good habit

It was written half and you never finished

Still I'm reading every line like it's brand new, because

Pre-Chorus

Every window holds two hands that once held this one

Holding on tight, never let go till the sun was done

I'm standing here with mine outstretched

Waiting for the dust to settle before I walk it

Chorus

Every window holds two hands that once held this one

Holding on tight, never let go till the sun was done

Every porch swing remembers what it lost in the night

Still it keeps rocking slow like everything's alright

This old house don't mind me, don't need a light

It already knows my name and where I sleep tonight

Bridge

Maybe holding on too tight is just holding on with love

Not letting go of how this feels, instead of what we lose

I'm keeping every crack and every splinter

Every nail still loose like an anchor

Chorus

Every window holds two hands that once held this one

Holding on tight, never let go till the sun was done

Every porch swing remembers what it lost in the night

Still it keeps rocking slow like everything's alright

This old house don't mind me, don't need a light

It already knows my name and where I sleep tonight
