The Weight of the Wool

[Intro]
[Verse]
Heavy wool against my chest
Put my memory to the test
Coffee stain upon the cuff
I guess I didn't have enough
Smelling like the mountain pine
Tracing every crooked line
[Pre-Chorus]
Eighteen months have slipped away
Turning gold to shades of gray
The air is getting thin
Where do I even begin?
[Chorus]
I’m dropping off the ghost
Of what I miss the most
It’s just a vintage thread
For all the things unsaid
The weight is off my floor
I’m leaving it at your door
[Verse]
The closet felt so hollow
A bitter pill to swallow
It hung there in the dark
Waiting for a single spark
Buttons loose and hanging low
I didn't want to let go
[Pre-Chorus]
Now the minor chords arrive
Keeping old regrets alive
I can feel the tension rise
Looking through these tired eyes
[Chorus]
I’m dropping off the ghost
Of what I miss the most
It’s just a vintage thread
For all the things unsaid
The weight is off my floor
I’m leaving it at your door
[Bridge]
I should have said I'm sorry
For the ending of our story
I should have held you tighter
Made the heavy world feel lighter
But I kept it in my throat
Hidden in this winter coat
Now the strings are screaming out
Everything I couldn't shout!
[Chorus]
I’m dropping off the ghost
Of what I miss the most
It’s just a vintage thread
For all the things unsaid
The weight is off my floor
I’m leaving it at your door
[Post-Chorus]
Just a coat on the ground
Without a single sound
Just a piece of the past
That wasn't meant to last
[Verse]
I saw you through the glass
Watching all the people pass
You haven't changed a bit
But I'm no longer part of it
I set the bag down slow
Then I turned around to go
[Outro]
