Falling Slow

Verse 1 - Voice 1

We were seventeen when the sky turned gray

Folded paper notes we never learned to say

I kept your sweater in a cardboard box

Smelling of the rain and all the roads we lost

Verse 2 - Voice 2

You drew a moon upon my bedroom wall

Pale and patient waiting for our call

I kept the silence in my shaking hands

Counting every hour in a foreign land

Pre-Chorus

And if we never find the words

If the night just swallows us whole

I'll still turn my face toward your ghost

Chorus

Hold me in the static of the years

Hold me where the quiet disappears

We were always two moons in one sky

Falling slow and never asking why

Post-Chorus

Falling slow

Falling slow

Oh we fall so slow

Verse 3 - Voice 1

You left your footprints on my kitchen floor

I traced them like a prayer I can't ignore

The kettle hums a tune we used to know

Bitter on the tongue like letting go

Verse 4 - Voice 2

I saw your face inside a passing train

Wet against the glass and back again

You smiled like a wound that never heals

Soft and slow and almost almost real

Pre-Chorus

And if we never find the words

If the night just swallows us whole

I'll still turn my face toward your ghost

Chorus

Hold me in the static of the years

Hold me where the quiet disappears

We were always two moons in one sky

Falling slow and never asking why

Bridge

Two voices in a hollow room

Singing to the dark what we consumed

Every note a thread of where we'd been

Tangled up and thinning at the end

Chorus

Hold me in the static of the years

Hold me where the quiet disappears

We were always two moons in one sky

Falling slow and never asking why

Post-Chorus

Falling slow

Falling slow

Oh we fall so slow
