lyrics

I'll miss the mischievous creak
Of the knob on the door to our bedroom
As I was easing it shut, trying hard not to wake you… I tried
And the counters too small for the groceries that spilled to the table
While we sat and drank coffee on the floor anyway most of the time

We will fill in the hole in the wall where the mandolin was
We will take down the pictures we took and the paintings we hung
When the carpets are empty, the tables and chairs set aside
Place a hand on the door to our home and whisper goodbye

Take this moment to decide
If we meant it, if we tried
Or felt around for far too much
From things that accidentally touch

Know the things we need to say
Have been said already anyway
By parallelograms of light
On walls that we repainted white

Sun in an empty room
Sun in an empty room
Sun in an empty room
Sun in an empty room

We will fill in the hole in the wall where the mandolin was
We will take down the pictures we took and the paintings we hung
When the carpets are empty, the tables and chairs set aside
Place a hand on the door to our home and whisper goodbye
