Lyrics

Verse 1

Date, location, article, condition Soft pencil on thick paper Tag the coat, note it, shelf it The rain keeps count on the roof You keep count in the ledger Neither one of you stops

Chorus

Still here, still here The record is the proof of reaching Still here, still here Not the proof of meeting, just the reaching

Verse 2

One twelve, one thirteen, one fourteen The shelf was already bare The bareness is also a condition You write what the water leaves The pencil does not need you

Chorus

Still here, still here The record is the proof of reaching Still here, still here Not the proof of meeting, just the reaching

Bridge

Where do the names go, come winter The tags say nothing of names The water keeps its own ledger The line on the wall keeps rising It does not answer. It records. It records. It records.

Chorus

Still here, still here The record is the proof of reaching Still here, still here Not the proof of meeting, just the reaching

Outro

The shards keep the shape of the window Each one holds a piece of the sky You do not need the whole sky The reaching is the proof Still here Still here
