Sunlit Rooms

I don't want to talk about it anymore
I have seen you slouch your feet from door to door
And though your silence speaks in volumes
And every friend you know now calls you
Surrounded
But still so on your own

Take your time
You've seen it all now
We'll be alright you taught us how

I can't hear them talk about it anymore
I have seen you catch your breath at every chore
And though your bones etch out like branches
And your young spirit still dances
You are fading like the flowers do in fall

I can see the sunlit rooms you played in as a child
I can hear you laughing on the interstate
I can smell the wine and secrets that you hide in tired ways
I still feel your light like it was yesterday
But I'm let go so slowly now
And loss makes life feel like a vow

I can hear you ring inside these walls now
I can hear your loved ones heaving in the night
And though their silences speaks in volumes
And the world no longer calls you by your name
To me it's still the same

I can see the sunlit rooms you played in as a child
I can hear you laughing on the interstate
I can smell the wine and secrets that you hide in tired ways
I still feel your light like it was yesterday
But I'm let go so slowly now
And loss makes life feel like a vow

But I'm letting go so slowly now
And loss makes life feel like a vow
