Borrowed Blue

Intro

Mm

Mm-hmm

Verse 1

We borrowed a language neither of us owns

To name the hollow where the river never shows

You spoke in amber

I answered in stone

Our vowels sank slow like winter pollen

Pre-Chorus

If the sky could swallow I would hand it to you

A roof of quiet made of borrowed blue

Chorus

Folding the light

Leaving the seams

We are the weather that outlived every name

Folding the light

Counting the wings

Nothing to keep but the shape of the flame

Post-Chorus

Soft like a secret

Gone like a game

Verse 2

The map we drew has no directions left

Only the margins where our hands were kept

I read the silence

It read me back

A crease of morning on a crooked track

Pre-Chorus

If the dark would hold me I would let you go

A lantern made of what we used to know

Chorus

Folding the light

Leaving the seams

We are the weather that outlived every name

Folding the light

Counting the wings

Nothing to keep but the shape of the flame

Post-Chorus

Soft like a secret

Gone like a game

Bridge

Maybe the tide misplaces all it pours

Maybe the echo is the only door

We knock together once then twice

Then hollow hands become the only vice

Chorus

Folding the light

Leaving the seams

We are the weather that outlived every name

Folding the light

Counting the wings

Nothing to keep but the shape of the flame

Post-Chorus

Soft like a secret

Gone like a game

Gone

Gone
