Where the Sky Starts Humming

Verse 1

You left in early autumn

The sky forgot its blue

I counted every ceiling crack

And blamed the stars for you

Your jacket on the hallway hook

Still smells like winter pine

I talk into the quiet rooms

Like you might answer mine

Pre-Chorus

I memorized your laughter

So it couldn't slip away

Kept your last voicemail playing

Every single lonely day

Chorus

Where the sky starts humming

I can hear your name

Feathers fall like meteors

Nothing gold can fade

If I can't reach your hands tonight

I'll keep you in my chest

Every time the dark rolls in

I'll let your light do the rest

Post-Chorus

(Oh-oh-oh)

Let your light do the rest

(Oh-oh-oh)

Let your light do the rest

Verse 2

Some mornings I was stone

Some mornings I was rain

I smiled at strangers on the train

Then broke down once again

I yelled at every halo

I cursed the upper air

Then found your favorite sweater

And I wore it everywhere

Pre-Chorus

I played your favorite record

Let it circle through the room

And something in my ribcage

Stopped feeling like a wound

Chorus

Where the sky starts humming

I can hear your name

Feathers fall like meteors

Nothing gold can fade

If I can't reach your hands tonight

I'll keep you in my chest

Every time the dark rolls in

I'll let your light do the rest

Post-Chorus

(Oh-oh-oh)

Let your light do the rest

(Oh-oh-oh)

Let your light do the rest

Bridge

Maybe paradise isn't distant

Maybe it's the kitchen light

Maybe it's the songs you hummed

On ordinary nights

Maybe angels aren't feathered

Maybe angels wear our coats

Maybe love just changes shape

And lingers when it goes

So I will not beg the heavens

For a single thing I lost

I'll grow into the person

That you always thought I was

Chorus

Where the sky starts humming

I can hear your name

Feathers fall like meteors

Nothing gold can fade

If I can't reach your hands tonight

I'll keep you in my chest

Every time the dark rolls in

I'll let your light do the rest

Drop

I let your light do the rest

I let your light do the rest
