Keep the Window Cracked (версия 2) – Paper Tide Society

Verse

Rain just quit around eight fifteen

Gutters humming that last routine

Steam off the rooftops, streetlights blur

Puddles holding the shapes they were

Radiator ticking a lazy beat

Socks on the floorboards, bare cold feet

Notebook open to page nineteen

Ink still drying on what I mean

Pre-Chorus

Thunder's somewhere three towns gone

Sky's still bruised but leaning on

So what's this feeling settling in

Chorus

Keep the window cracked

Let the wet air drift

Storm's behind our back

Nothing left to fix

Just the drip, the hum, the hush of gray

Keep the window cracked and float away

Verse

Same old mug, chipped on the rim

Coffee gone cold, I'm drinking it slow

Neighbor's wind chime finding its hymn

Half a rainbow nobody sees but me and the window

Blanket pulled up over my knees

Record skipping on side B

Nothing urgent, nothing due

Just this quiet me and you

Pre-Chorus

Thunder's somewhere three towns gone

Sky's still bruised but leaning on

So what's this feeling settling in

Chorus

Keep the window cracked

Let the wet air drift

Storm's behind our back

Nothing left to fix

Just the drip, the hum, the hush of gray

Keep the window cracked and float away

Bridge

Maybe calm's not the absence of rain

Maybe it's standing in it just the same

Maybe it's letting the noise pass through

Instead of always chasing blue
