Momentum — Crimson Comet (recording 2)

Verse

Suitcase by the doorway, zipper stuck on blue

Your toothbrush in the cup still holding room for two

Six a.m. and quiet, the kettle starts to hiss

Steam writing letters that dissolve before I finish

Pre-Chorus

So how do I let go

And still feel like I'm moving

Somewhere underneath this ache

There's a current pulling through me

Chorus

This is momentum, this is the pull

Past the goodbye, past the empty and full

Tears on the porch step, feet on the ground

Something in leaving that keeps me spinning round

Call it momentum, call it the start

Losing you slowly is teaching my heart

Verse

Boxes in the hallway, your handwriting on tape

Twelve years folded neatly into shapes I can't escape

The porch light flickers orange like it's waving me along

Every ending hums a little bit like a song

Pre-Chorus

So how do I let go

And still feel like I'm moving

Somewhere underneath this ache

There's a current pulling through me

Chorus

This is momentum, this is the pull

Past the goodbye, past the empty and full

Tears on the porch step, feet on the ground

Something in leaving that keeps me spinning round

Call it momentum, call it the start

Losing you slowly is teaching my heart

Bridge

Maybe the door was always half a window

Maybe the falling is really just flight

I'm learning the weight of an open horizon

How dark makes room for the light

Chorus

This is momentum, this is the pull

Past the goodbye, past the empty and full

Tears on the porch step, feet on the ground

Something in leaving that keeps me spinning round

Call it momentum, call it the start

This is the moment the breaking gives way to the start
