Falling Back to You

When I was breathing through my window frame

And every shadow whispers your name

I keep your memory like a sparking rain

Trying to hold a flame

You left a silence that I can't ignore

It lives in the hallway, the stairs, the floor

I've been pretending I don't want you more

But I'm still at your door

And I, I know

Some things don't come back

But my heart won't let you go

No, it keeps on looking back

If love is a wound, then I wear it well

Every beat of my heart is a story I can tell

You were the fire, I was the spell

And I'm still learning how to let you go

If jewels are a place, can I live there too?

In the echo of a kiss, in the shade of loving you

No matter how far, no matter how slow

I keep on falling back to you

Your ghost is gentle, but it never leaves

It sits on my chest when I'm half asleep

I reach for your hand in the static breeze

Like you're still here with me

I try to rewrite what we used to be

But the pages burn when I read them

Calling all of my maybes

And what good has turned to dust in my hands?

And I, I know

The seasons move ahead

But some old psalms still grow

In the garden of my head

If love is a wound, then where it was

Every beat of my heart is a story I can tell

You were the fire I was to spit

And I'm still learning how to let you go

Your dreams are a place, then I live there too

In the echo of a kiss, in the shade of blue, then you

No matter how far, no matter how soon

I keep on falling back to you

Maybe healing isn't clean

Maybe it's a light between

All the wreckage and the years

All the scars and all the tears

Maybe I don't have to win

Maybe I just breathe you in

And let the ache unwind

'Til it turns to something kind

If love is a wound, then I wear it well

Baby, beat of my heart is a story I can't tell

You were the fire, I was the spell

And I'm still learning how to let you go

If dreams are a place, then I'll live there too

In the echo of a kiss and the shade of love on you

No matter how far, no matter how soon

I keep on falling back to you

I keep on falling back to you

I keep on falling back to you
