Lyrics

[Intro]
[Verse]
Cardboard boxes on the floor
I don't live here anymore
Chipped ceramic in my hand
Like a castle made of sand
We drank cocoa from this cup
Now I'm finally giving up
[Pre-Chorus]
First light through the curtain screen
Shows a world I haven't seen
It's a quiet kind of brave
Saving what I need to save
[Chorus]
I’m leaving you behind
With a settled mind
No more heavy lifting
Just the seasons shifting
I’m letting go
Soft and slow
[Post-Chorus]
Soft and slow
Watch it go
[Verse]
Oak tree bark shows our names
We played such different games
Faded tickets in a drawer
I don't need them anymore
I was the one who stayed
While the colors started to fade
[Build-up]
Pack the guitar in the case
Leave this familiar space
One last look at the wall
I don't feel small at all
[Chorus]
I’m leaving you behind
With a settled mind
No more heavy lifting
Just the seasons shifting
I’m letting go
Soft and slow
[Bridge]
Distant cello starts to hum
Waiting for the dawn to come
Past the dusty state line
Everything will be fine
Shaker counts the miles away
Into a brand new day
[Verse]
Curtains dancing in the breeze
I am finally at my ease
You won’t call and I won’t wait
Locked the old garden gate
One-sided stories have to end
Goodbye to my oldest friend
[Chorus]
I’m leaving you behind
With a settled mind
No more heavy lifting
Just the seasons shifting
I’m letting go
Soft and slow
[Post-Chorus]
Soft and slow
Watch it go
I'm letting go
[Outro]
