Shattered Sunlight

(ooh ooh) Cracked paint on the window frame

Rain beads up and slips away You kept your coat on in

the hall

I kept pretending not to fall (ooh)

Every word we saved for later

Found a crack and slipped outside

I can almost hear us changing

In the space we left behind

Oh, we were a broken kind of bright

Holding on with open hands

If it hurts, let it shine tonight

We can lose and understand (ahhh) (oh-oh) (ahhh)

Your books are leaning by the stairs

Dust collects in little pairs I found the note beneath the chair

Read the ending, left it there (ooh)

Every room became a weather

Every mile became a sign

I was late to call it over

You were early to be kind

Oh,

we were a broken kind of bright

Holding on with open hands

If it hurts, let it shine tonight

We can lose and understand (ahhh)

Maybe love is not the keeping

Maybe loss can clear the room

There is morning in the ceiling

There is mercy coming through Oh,

we were a broken kind of bright

Holding on with open hands

If it hurts, let it shine tonight

We can lose and understand (oh-oh) (ahhh)
