[Verse 1]
The air is full of a farewell
Hanging low in the hall
On the edge of your coat sleeve
In the crack of the call

[Pre-Chorus]
Your smile is trying to stay
But the door knows more than we do
Every word turns pale
When it passes through

[Chorus]
The air is full of a farewell
Full of a farewell, baby
Hold me once, then let me go
Hold me once, then let me go
The air is full of a farewell
And I feel it in my bones

[Verse 2]
Your cup leaves a ring on the table
Like a moon on a quiet sea
The room keeps your shape for a second
Then forgets how to be

[Pre-Chorus]
I hear the hush between us
Like rain on a windowpane
What we never said out loud
Says your name again

[Chorus]
The air is full of a farewell
Full of a farewell, baby
Hold me once, then let me go
Hold me once, then let me go
The air is full of a farewell
And I feel it in my bones

[Bridge]
If you look back, I’ll be there
Not broken, just changed by light
A folded note in the dark
A flame that can’t quite die

[Final Chorus]
The air is full of a farewell
Full of a farewell, baby
Hold me once, then let me go
Hold me once, then let me go
The air is full of a farewell
But your name stays in my bones
