歌詞

[Intro]
[Verse]
Shadows stretch across the tile
I haven't slept in quite a while
Two a.m. and the fridge hums low
Watching how the embers glow
Cardboard boxes line the hall
I’m still leaning on the wall
[Pre-Chorus]
The kettle starts to whistle soft
Lifting all my thoughts aloft
Found the box you didn't take
Full of things we didn't break
I’m holding on to what is left
Without the feeling of a theft
[Chorus]
It’s a soft and permanent hollow
A bitter pill I didn't swallow
Just a space where you once stood
In the way that only you could
I’m not angry, I’m not torn
Just a little weathered and worn
Thank you for the time we shared
I’m just glad you actually cared
[Post-Chorus]
It's a quiet kind of blue
Just the ghost of me and you
Deep inside the kitchen grain
Love without the jagged pain
[Verse]
Tracing circles on the rim
As the kitchen light grows dim
Chipped it on a Tuesday night
Trying to make the morning right
Hand-thrown clay with blue-grey glaze
Lost inside a memory haze
[Chorus]
It’s a soft and permanent hollow
A bitter pill I didn't swallow
Just a space where you once stood
In the way that only you could
I’m not angry, I’m not torn
Just a little weathered and worn
Thank you for the time we shared
I’m just glad you actually cared
[Bridge]
We didn't end in thunder claps
Just a quiet folding of the maps
No slamming doors or bitter words
Just the flight of winter birds
You left a ghost inside the wood
And I would keep it if I could
[Verse]
Sunday papers, unread news
Walking in my father's shoes
Late thirties is a heavy age
Turning to a silent page
I see your thumbprint in the clay
Wishing you a lovely day
[Chorus]
It’s a soft and permanent hollow
A bitter pill I didn't swallow
Just a space where you once stood
In the way that only you could
I’m not angry, I’m not torn
Just a little weathered and worn
Thank you for the time we shared
I’m just glad you actually cared
[Post-Chorus]
A soft hollow
A quiet follow
Deep in the grain
Without the pain
Just the residue
Of loving you
[Outro]
