Keep a Little Room

[Verse 1]
I leave one chair beside the table
Though I don't know your name
The kettle clicks, the room goes quiet
And nothing feels the same

I pass a hundred faces
On the way to anywhere
Somewhere beyond the next departure
You may already be there

[Pre-Chorus]
I can't draw your outline
I can't guess your voice
But something in the distance
Feels like a choice

[Chorus]
I don't know, I don't know where you are
Maybe near, maybe miles from my door
But I'm ready for the day we collide
For the strange little world we find

I don't know, I don't know who you'll be
What you'll carry, what you'll teach me
Still I'm saving a place in my life
For the moment our paths decide

[Verse 2]
Maybe you'll laugh at the wrong moment
Maybe I'll miss the sign
Maybe we'll talk beside a closing shop
And lose track of the time

You'll have your private weather
I'll have mine to explain
We won't arrive without our history
We'll bring it like a name

[Pre-Chorus]
No promise in the distance
No map beneath my feet
Just a door I haven't opened
And a world I want to meet

[Chorus]
I don't know, I don't know where you are
Maybe near, maybe miles from my door
But I'm ready for the day we collide
For the strange little world we find

I don't know, I don't know who you'll be
What you'll carry, what you'll teach me
Still I'm saving a place in my life
For the moment our paths decide

[Bridge]
If you are learning how to begin
I am learning that too
If you've been holding back a question
I may have one for you

No thunder, no perfect arrival
No story written through
Just two unfinished conversations
Finally coming true

[Final Chorus]
I don't know, I don't know where you are
But I feel you somewhere beyond the known
And I'm ready for the day we collide
For the room that opens up inside

I don't know, I don't know who you'll be
But I like who I might become with you
So wherever the road is tonight
Keep a little room for my light

[Outro]
I don't know where you are
Not yet, not yet
But I'm excited to know you
When we meet
