The Rounding Edges

[Intro]
[Verse]
Yellow paint is peeling slow
In the kitchen where I go
Tea is steaming in the mug
Resting on a thrifted rug
Screen door creaks a heavy sigh
While the summer clouds drift by
Rain has left the garden deep
Where the weary spirits sleep
[Pre-Chorus]
Cardboard box upon the floor
Dusting off the years before
Ticket stubs and faded ink
More than I can really think
[Chorus]
Oh the edges are rounding out
Less of fear and less of doubt
Like the berries on the vine
I am taking back what's mine
It’s a quiet kind of grace
In this hollow, holy space
And the hurt is soft and low
Like the way the rivers flow
[Post-Chorus]
Quiet grief and quiet relief
Turning over a new leaf
Quiet grief and quiet relief
Turning over a new leaf
[Break]
[Verse]
Ticket stubs from dusty trains
Washing out the winter stains
Faded ink on postcards blue
Written when I needed you
Now the words are turning gold
Stories that were never told
Half a letter in the stack
There is no one looking back
[Pre-Chorus]
Shadows dancing on the wall
I will answer to my call
Every dollar spent is fine
In this little life of mine
[Chorus]
Oh the edges are rounding out
Less of fear and less of doubt
Like the berries on the vine
I am taking back what's mine
It’s a quiet kind of grace
In this hollow, holy space
And the hurt is soft and low
Like the way the rivers flow
[Bridge]
Fiddle hums a distant tune
Underneath a rising moon
Mandolin is sweet and high
Like a bird against the sky
I am breathing in the air
Finding peace in being there
Chipped enamel, minty steam
Waking from a heavy dream
[Breakdown]
No more shouting in the hall
No more waiting for the fall
Just the berries by the fence
Making so much better sense
[Chorus]
Oh the edges are rounding out
Less of fear and less of doubt
Like the berries on the vine
I am taking back what's mine
It’s a quiet kind of grace
In this hollow, holy space
And the hurt is soft and low
Like the way the rivers flow
[Post-Chorus]
Quiet grief and quiet relief
Turning over a new leaf
Quiet grief and quiet relief
Turning over a new leaf
[Outro]
