[Verse 1]
In these kitchen walls where silence grows
Mother's tea has long gone cold
I carved our names into the oak
Where do the letters go when they're never sent?
[Pre-Chorus]
Time moves like water through my hands
Years I thought I'd understand
[Chorus]
Can you hear me calling through the years?
Can you hear me when the wind disappears?
All these words I saved inside a box
Can you hear me, can you hear me now?
[Verse 2]
Fields of barley bent with rain
Same as when we were children playing
Found your photograph beneath the stairs
Why do faces fade but pain remains?
[Pre-Chorus]
Time moves like water through my hands
Years I thought I'd understand
[Chorus]
Can you hear me calling through the years?
Can you hear me when the wind disappears?
All these words I saved inside a box
Can you hear me, can you hear me now?
[Bridge]
Maybe twenty years from where I stand
I'll be holding someone else's hand
But tonight I'm writing what I know
Letters to the girl I used to be
[Solo]
[Verse 3]
Morning breaks across the window pane
Nothing here will be the same
But I'll keep these words inside my chest
Some things are too heavy to forget
[Chorus]
Can you hear me calling through the years?
Can you hear me when the wind disappears?
All these words I saved inside a box
Can you hear me, can you hear me now?
