Lyrics
When the silences of expectations
Leave the dusty echoes of words unspoken
When the aching puzzle you've left is broken
And the gaping sound of it cracks me open
Still I can't let you go
Every paper-thin note of me says
I can't let you go
I can't ever go home
When the soft folds of memory
Hold my tattered thoughts of you
of you, of you.
When you slip away like mist in the morning
Shapes of shadows all that's left of the moment
When the siren's call still holds me captive
A crumbling faith of spell-bound stories
Still I can't let you go
So all my scattered words say
I can't let you go
I can't ever go home
When the soft folds of memory
Hold my tattered thoughts of you
Of you, of you
Still the sun will shine
Still the sap will flow
Through the torrid veins
Of lover's throes
I will find my way without your North
In a world without me in you
When I hang in threads I can't untangle
In the empty hollows you once dwelled in
Oh I try to find some sense of normal
As the world goes on so blindly callous
Of letting you go
Of letting you go
Letting you go.
