Holding Your Shape

Verse

You left at midnight with your jacket over your arm

I watched the traffic light go amber then red

Two hours later I'm still standing in front of your door

Your umbrella's still leaning against my leg on the floor

Pre-Chorus

Do you feel it too when someone moves this slow

Like a whole building breathes just to let them go

I don't want you back, I just want to know

What do you do with all this space that we made

Chorus

Hold your shape, hold your shape in the dark

Wherever you are, it's still holding my heart

Every window left us behind but not the light

So keep moving forward till you're out of sight

I'm holding your shape like a prayer I don't say aloud

Just this empty room and the outline of what we had before now

Verse

Your shoes are gone but there's still a circle from where they were sitting on the floor

I kept your scarf tied around my neck till it lost its scent and fell to the floor

Pre-Chorus

Do you feel it too when someone moves this slow

Like a whole building breathes just to let them go

I don't want you back, I just want to know

What do you do with all this space that we made

Chorus

Hold your shape, hold your shape in the dark

Wherever you are, it's still holding my heart

Every window left us behind but not the light

So keep moving forward till you're out of sight

I'm holding your shape like a prayer I don't say aloud

Just this empty room and the outline of what we had before now

Bridge

Maybe letting go isn't losing everything at once

It's a doorway, even when it feels like an open space

Maybe the leaving is just a version of you that I never knew

Standing on your own two feet and I'm still holding my breath for you

Chorus

Hold your shape, hold your shape in the dark

Wherever you are, it's still holding my heart

Every window left us behind but not the light

So keep moving forward till you're out of sight

I'm holding your shape like a prayer I don't say aloud

Just this empty room and the outline of what we had before now
