Lyrics
The hallway's humming from the old Lorain Electric sign downstairs.
My key in the lock feels cold, a shock for a night in June.
I've been drafting the floorplan of this room without you,
Bracing the corners for the quiet that's coming soon.
[Chorus]
But your blueprint's right here in the lines of my hand,
You’re the room I forgot I had planned.
Just a quiet revision, a stunning relief,
Like the first summer rain on a sycamore leaf.
[Verse 2]
You left the window open, smell of asphalt and rain on the breeze.
The static from the ballgame is a comfort I didn't know I'd need.
You turn from the stove, whisper "'Was worried,' you said, 'about the keys.'"
And all my retaining walls just rust and give way with the deed.
[Chorus]
'Cause your blueprint's right here in the lines of my hand,
You’re the room I forgot I had planned.
Just a quiet revision, a stunning relief,
Like the first summer rain on a sycamore leaf.
[Bridge]
That 11:04 train horn just blew past the foundry site.
It used to sound like leaving.
Tonight it just sounds like the night.
[Outro]
Still, I trace the formwork...
bracing for the break.
