Rooms Keep People

Lyrics

Mm-mm Still here

There's a dent in the hallway carpet Where the table used to sit And if it's late enough at night I still expect to pass by it The house keeps doing little things Like it forgot to move on too Floorboard creak, loose screen, old smell of rain All of it pointing back to you

Some rooms keep people in them Long after they are gone In the air, the light, the timing In the way the house goes on And I can stand there in the middle Feel the years come walking through I know I can't go back there But I still do

There's a mug I should've thrown out And a coat hook hanging bare Sometimes I still turn too quick Like someone's standing there Memory isn't kind or cruel It just opens when it wants Leaves me holding two versions of my life All at once

Some rooms keep people in them Long after they are gone In the air, the light, the timing In the way the house goes on And I can stand there in the middle Feel the years come walking through I know I can't go back there But I still do

Mm Mm-mm

I used to think remembering Was something I could choose Now it's more like weather moving in And filling up the rooms

Some rooms keep people in them Long after they are gone In the air, the light, the timing In the way the house goes on And I can stand there in the middle Feel the years come walking through I know I can't go back there But I still do

Still do Mm I still do
