Palm on the Window

[Verse 1] Streetlights smear like watercolor On the heel of my resting hand You said what you meant too quietly Still it landed exactly where I stand The radio keeps a small confession Underneath the engine hum I thought silence meant protection Now I know what silence can become [Pre-Chorus] No, I do not need another answer No, I do not need another scene Just the city pulling every shadow Into something honest in between [Chorus] Palm on the window City breathing slow I can love you and still let go Palm on the window Watching Lagos glow Every goodbye leaves a little gold [Verse 2] Traffic lights turn red like memory Motorbikes divide the rain There are words that never break a body Still they echo in it just the same I kept hoping for a softer ending Something we could neatly fold But the night is good at telling When a warm thing has gone cold [Pre-Chorus] No, I do not need another promise No, I do not need a last defense Only this half-open moving window And the mercy of a little distance [Chorus] Palm on the window City breathing slow I can love you and still let go Palm on the window Watching Lagos glow Every goodbye leaves a little gold [Bridge] If tomorrow asks me what it cost I will say we gave it what we had Not every ending means we failed Some endings only prove it mattered [Final Chorus] Palm on the window City breathing slow I can love you and still let go Palm on the window Watching Lagos glow Every goodbye leaves a little gold [Outro] Every goodbye leaves a little gold
