"If I Could" lyrics

I walk the rooms we left that used to bloom
Felt the hollow hum of every empty tune
Time is slow impatiently
Left me counting kisses I can't keep
Light leaks through what's thin and frail
Holding on to ghosts that never fail
I trace the lines where we fell apart
Keep the map of you folded in my heart

Take me where the night forgives
Where the broken learn to live
Hold the space between the lines
Turn these empty rooms to signs
I was lost inside the rush
Now I'm reaching through the dust
For the friends I could've had
For the light and what we had

Gently now, the city sighs
Paper boats afloat on midnight skies
Conversations float like ash
Promises that burn too fast
I keep a match to every past regret
Watch it catch and fade, won't let me forget
Still I hum a wordless prayer
For softer mornings and a kinder air

Take me where the night forgives
Where the broken learn to live
Hold the space between the lines
Turn these empty rooms to signs
I was lost inside the rush
Now I'm reaching through the dust
For the friends I could've had
For the light and what we had

A dream I had that made me sad
Dreaming of the friends I could've had
Dreaming of the friends I could've had

Take me where the night forgives
Where the broken learn to live
Dreaming of the friends I could've had
