Lyrics
Description
Capo 2 — fingerpick Arpeggio: Am F C G
[Intro]
Am F C G
(Arpeggiated, soft — let each note ring)
[Verse 1]
Am F
On Calle 5 the sari-sari light still blinks,
C G
Your name on every wrapper, every missing link.
Am F
Your scarf lays folded on the park bench seat,
C G
A small, blue island where my fingers meet.
[Pre-Chorus]
F C
I count the seconds that you never spend,
Em Am
A paper boat that won't return again.
F C
I practice lines I never say to you,
G
Words dressed in timber, honest and new.
[Chorus — Hook]
F C
You shut the door, I keep humming,
G Am
A quiet song for when the night comes running.
F C
You shut the door, I keep humming,
G Am
Soft as the bell on your bicycle, I keep coming.
[Verse 2]
Am F
Your umbrella sits like a ghost at the cafe,
C G
Steam on the window where your laughter used to stay.
Am F
The ticket stub in my pocket, a midnight line,
C G
Of the movie we never finished, of a once-upon time.
[Pre-Chorus — Lift]
F C
You never heard me learn the chords by heart,
Em Am
Or how I traced your name in the dark.
F C
I rehearsed a thousand ways to make you see,
G
But all I proved was how soft a fool can be.
[Chorus — Hook with a Lift]
F C
You shut the door, I keep humming,
G Am
A stubborn tune when every streetlight's dimming.
F C
You shut the door, I keep humming,
G Am
Because loving you is the quiet I keep drumming.
[Bridge — Turning Point | chords shift to lift: Em Cmaj7 G D]
Em Cmaj7
Tonight I fold your sweater into a drawer,
G D
It smells like rain and a season that I wore.
Em Cmaj7
There’s a part of me that swore I’d always stay,
G D
But a different part now learns the words to say:
Em Cmaj7
Not all songs must chase the setting sun,
G D
Some finish soft, and some are finally done.
[Final Chorus — Full, emotional]
F C
You shut the door, I keep humming,
G Am
Now I hum to sleep the echo of your running.
F C
You shut the door, I keep humming,
G Am
I’ll hum until the hurt becomes a softer thing.
F C
You shut the door, I keep humming,
G Am
And maybe one day the humming becomes no more.
[Outro]
Am F C G
(Repeat, slow — let the last Am ring out)
Guitar & Arrangement Notes:
- Capo on 2 to place vocals in a warm male range.
- Intro: arpeggiated Am–F–C–G, fingerpick with thumb on bass and light trebles.
- Verses: keep dynamics quiet, intimate — thumb + two-finger pattern.
- Choruses: strum softly with light full chords, add a suspended second on last bar for tension (Gsus4 → G).
- Bridge: lift to
