歌词

[Intro]
[Verse]
Rain taps on the iron gate
Midnight hour is running late
Steam curls from a chipped mug
Give my tired heart a tug
Yellow light on the wet brick
Watching every second tick
I see our shadows on the wall
Waiting for the sky to fall
[Pre-Chorus]
Charcoal dust on my fingertips
Silence moving past my lips
We were colors that couldn't blend
Coming to a quiet end
[Chorus]
I’m closing the sketchbook now
I’m making a silent vow
No more drawing in your lines
Reading all the heavy signs
It’s a soft kind of relief
Finding beauty in the brief
Just me and the Brooklyn rain
Walking out of the frame
[Post-Chorus]
Let it go, let it go
Watch the steady water flow
Let it go, let it go
Now I finally know
[Verse]
Half-drawn faces on the floor
I don’t need them anymore
You were the rhythm, I was lead
Things we felt but never said
Comping chords on the jazz guitar
Wondering just where we are
But the Wurlitzer plays so sweet
Walking on my own two feet
[Pre-Chorus]
Every stroke was a heavy weight
Leaving it all to fate
The shadows start to shift
I’m catching on the drift
[Chorus]
I’m closing the sketchbook now
I’m making a silent vow
No more drawing in your lines
Reading all the heavy signs
It’s a soft kind of relief
Finding beauty in the brief
Just me and the Brooklyn rain
Walking out of the frame
[Bridge]
Muted brass in the hallway air
I’m leaving behind the care
No more leaning on your ghost
I love my own space the most
The upright bass begins to hum
Waiting for the peace to come
It’s a lonely, lovely sound
With my feet on the ground
[Hook]
Drawing my own borders tonight
Underneath the amber light
Drawing my own borders tonight
Everything is feeling right
[Chorus]
I’m closing the sketchbook now
I’m making a silent vow
No more drawing in your lines
Reading all the heavy signs
It’s a soft kind of relief
Finding beauty in the brief
Just me and the Brooklyn rain
Walking out of the frame
[Post-Chorus]
Let it go, let it go
Watch the steady water grow
Let it go, let it go
Now I finally know
[Outro]
