[Verse 1]
You take the side
Where the window leaks
I hold this coffee
Till it burns my teeth
We used to meet
In the middle of the couch
Now this cushion canyon
Keeps pulling us down

[Chorus]
Half of the room is colder
Half of this bed is yours
Half of my heart’s still waiting
Pressed like a note in a drawer
We’re lying here like strangers
Sharing a ceiling and floor
Half of the room is colder
But it’s hurting us both even more

[Verse 2]
[low male vocal register]
I talk to shadows
On the bedroom wall
You check your phone
Like you’re waiting to fall
[soft female vocal]
I trace the outline
Of your empty sleeve
Trying to remember
When I still believed

[Chorus]

[Bridge]
[female vocal
Almost whispered]
If I say I’m scared
Would you say it too
If we both still care
What are we going to do
[male vocal enters
Harmony]
Is this the part
Where we quietly choose
To stay in the silence
And lose what we lose

[Chorus]
