One Small Window

[Verse 1]
The forecast changed before the morning train
A paper cup went cold beside my hand
You said, “I don’t know what comes after this”
I watched the rain draw rivers through the sand

[Pre-Chorus]
No map could tell us where the road would turn
Still, one small window kept a candle burning

[Chorus]
When the ground gives way, take my hand
We can make a little room to breathe
Even here, where we can’t see the end
There’s a quiet spark we still can keep
If the night is all we understand
We’ll find the next step underneath our feet

[Verse 2]
The kitchen clock was running four minutes slow
Your coat was hanging by the open door
We let the unanswered questions stay unanswered
And set two plates out like we had before

[Pre-Chorus]
The first pale line came softly through the blinds
Not a promise, just enough to change our minds

[Chorus]
When the ground gives way, take my hand
We can make a little room to breathe
Even here, where we can’t see the end
There’s a quiet spark we still can keep
If the night is all we understand
We’ll find the next step underneath our feet

[Bridge]
Maybe hope is not a grand design
Maybe it’s your shoulder next to mine
One more call, one more ordinary day
A small yes, when we’re afraid to say

[Final Chorus]
When the ground gives way, take my hand
We can make a little room to breathe
Even here, where we can’t see the end
There’s a quiet spark we still can keep
If the night is all we understand
We’ll find the next step underneath our feet
We’ll find the next step, you and me

[Outro]
One small window, one small flame
Morning doesn’t need to know our names
