Fading Embrace

{warm Rhodes electric piano chords} {soft finger-snaps rhythm} {distance background

vinyl crackle}

Your coffee cup is cold on the kitchen counter

I left the letters untouched in the drawer

We painted walls we never got to live in

Now I don't know what we were fighting for (hmmm)

I see your coat behind the door

And I'm not ready to let it go

(no, I'm not ready) {soft swell of

live cello} Oh, why

did we write this page in pencil?

Just to rub out everything we knew

I am still holding on to the outline of you

(yeah, the outline of you) {soaring vocal falsetto} I hear your footsteps

in the empty hallway

But it's just the rain tapping on the glass

We traded futures for some bitter memories

Funny how fast a beautiful thing can pass

We built a home out of cards and promises

And we watched it fall

in the wind (how did we let it fall?) {emotional electric

guitar solo} I am still holding on... (humm)

To the outline of you

{instruments fade

leaving

only Rhodes piano and rain sounds}
