Sunlit Rooms Lyrics

I don't want to talk about it anymore

I have seen you slouch your feet from door to door

And though your silence speaks in volumes

And every friend you know now calls you

Surrounded

But still so on your own

Take your time

You've seen it all now

We'll be alright you taught us how

I can't hear them talk about it anymore

I have seen you catch your breath at every chore

And though your bones etch out like branches

And your young spirit still dances

You are fading like the flowers do in fall

I can see the sunlit rooms you played in as a child

I can hear you laughing on the interstate

I can smell the wine and secrets that you hide in tired ways

I still feel your light like it was yesterday

But I'm let go so slowly now

And loss makes life feel like a vow

I can hear you ring inside these walls now

I can hear your loved ones heaving in the night

And though their silences speaks in volumes

And the world no longer calls you by your name

To me it's still the same

I can see the sunlit rooms you played in as a child

I can hear you laughing on the interstate

I can smell the wine and secrets that you hide in tired ways

I still feel your light like it was yesterday

But I'm let go so slowly now

And loss makes life feel like a vow

But I'm letting go so slowly now

And loss makes life feel like a vow
