Lyrics

[Verse 1]

I used to hum in empty rooms

Talking to the shadows on my wall

Laughing at my own small jokes

Just to hear something at all

[Verse 2]

I used to sip my tea too slow

Staring at a chair that stayed clean

Saving half my stories

For a stranger in a dream

[Pre-Chorus]

Thought I was fine

I was floating

Light on the surface

Drifting in place

Didn’t know what I was holding

Till your smile walked into my space

[Chorus]

Before you

There was silence

(there was silence)

Little gaps between the days I couldn’t name

You put color in the quiet

(color in the quiet)

Now every empty corner knows your name

You were the piece that I kept missing

The open arms in every song I never sang

Now we’re filling all the spaces

All the spaces that I never knew I had

[Verse 3]

I used to fall asleep halfway

Through every movie

Every line

‘Cause no one there to lean into

When the sad parts took their time

[Verse 4]

I used to cook for two

Then one

Left your side of the plate in my mind

Setting down a second spoon

Like a promise I couldn’t find

[Pre-Chorus]

I told myself I liked the quiet

The single key hanging by the door

Didn’t know what I was missing

Till your footsteps found my floor

[Chorus]

Before you

There was silence

(there was silence)

Little gaps between the days I couldn’t name

You put color in the quiet

(color in the quiet)

Now every empty corner knows your name

You were the piece that I kept missing

The open arms in every song I never sang

Now we’re filling all the spaces

All the spaces that I never knew I had

[Bridge]

You: I was half a prayer

Half a laugh

Me: I was half a bed

Half a path

You: Now your toothbrush by my window

Me: Your sweater on my chair

Both: All these little living proofs

That we were meant to share

[Chorus]

Before you

There was silence

(before you)

Now our voices wrap around the same small room

You put color in the quiet

(you put color)

Turned my lonely into something soft as June

You were the piece that I kept missing

The gentle hand that reached and never let me fall

Now we’re filling all the spaces

Every space

Every space

Now we’re filling all the spaces

And I’m grateful I can’t find the edge at all
