The space between our breaths (Version 2)

Verse

Fingerprints still warm against the windowpane

Your scarf is draped across the couch again

The kettle's hum keeps time with what remains

Of everything we didn't say in vain

Pre-Chorus

Tell me how you know when it's over really

When every breath we take feels like goodbye

Is it a single note, or is it everything?

Does it change the air that stays behind

Chorus

I'm holding on to the space between our breaths

The shadow where your shoulder used to rest

Even when the light cuts through the mist and clears

There's still a shape of what we held here

So let me hold this hollow, let me keep the sound

Cause in these empty rooms I find you without

Verse 2

Your favorite book is open on the floor

The coffee cup still has your ring around it

I'm not trying to rewind, but the hours fold

Back into a single frame of gold

Pre-Chorus

Tell me how you know when it's over really

When every breath we take feels like goodbye

Is it a single note, or is it everything?

Does it change the air that stays behind

Chorus

I'm holding on to the space between our breaths

The shadow where your shoulder used to rest

Even when the light cuts through the mist and clears

There's still a shape of what we held here

So let me hold this hollow, let me keep the sound

Cause in these empty rooms I find you without

Bridge

Maybe it's not a ghost at all

Just a room that knows us both too well

The same four walls where we began

Still keeping time with the shape of our hand

Not holding on to what went away

But holding space for every part of us

Chorus

I'm holding on to the space between our breaths

The shadow where your shoulder used to rest

Even when the light cuts through the mist and clears

There's still a shape of what we held here

So let me hold this hollow, let me keep the sound

Cause in these empty rooms I find you without
