Let Me Up

Instrumental Intro

Verse 1

I still set two cups out by mistake

The kettle hums a note you used to make

Your chair stays angled toward the door

I keep your sweater folded on the drawer

Some mornings I forget and call your name

Then the quiet answers back the same

Pre-Chorus

I'm learning how to carry what I can't put down

Chorus

Let me up

Let me up

I've been kneeling in the garden of your voice

Let me up

Let me up

Not to leave you

Just to stand

Verse 2

Your laugh lives in the hallway light

The one you left on every single night

I trace the dent your shoulder made

In the sofa where the summers stayed

The record skips a worn-out part

And skips the way it skipped across my heart

Pre-Chorus

I'm learning how to hold you without holding on

Chorus

Let me up

Let me up

I've been kneeling in the garden of your voice

Let me up

Let me up

Not to leave you

Just to stand

Bridge

Rain on the window

Rain on my hands

Rain on the years I don't understand

I'll love you longer than I got to know you

I'll love you longer

And softer

And slow

Chorus

Let me up

Let me up

I've been kneeling in the garden of your voice

Let me up

Let me up

Not to leave you

Just to stand

Outro

Just to stand

Just to stand
