Unsent Letters

[Verse 1] I fold your name in blue On paper from the drawer I write the little things I never said before The kettle clicks, the floorboards sigh Your side of the bed stays bare I trace the stamp, I seal the doubt And leave you there [Pre-Chorus] I keep them in a box By the winter coats Each page a small surrender Each line a little ghost [Chorus] I write them, I write them And never let them go I write them, I write them To where I used to know (unsent, unsent) To the house with the open door I write them, I write them Then I write one more [Verse 2] On Tuesday I found your scarf Still caught on my chair The yarn was loose, the color gone But your hands were there I told you about the rain About the cracked front step About the way I say your name When I can't forget [Pre-Chorus] I keep them in a box By the winter coats Each page a small surrender Each line a little ghost [Chorus] I write them, I write them And never let them go I write them, I write them To where I used to know (unsent, unsent) To the house with the open door I write them, I write them Then I write one more [Bridge] Maybe one day I'll get brave And walk them to your street Maybe the wind will take them From my hands to your feet Till then I let the ink dry slow And tuck away the ache A love that stays on paper Is still a love to make [Final Chorus] I write them, I write them And never let them go I write them, I write them To where I used to know (unsent, unsent) To the house with the open door I write them, I write them Then I write one more
