[beautifully haunting piano throughout] [V1] When your world is broken, and it’s just too loud. When you can’t turn the noise off, from the crowd. There’s a quiet place, just inside your window.... Begging you to live. There’s so much more of you, to give. [V2 piano only] The world can be grey, mornings marginally darker. There’s always something missing, Like the endearing words at the end of a letter. Or a billboard that reads, “Things will always get better.” [Pre-Chorus] Emptiness is a symptom of life, Darkness is never the cure. You want to shrink away, and close the door, Like the out-takes left on a cutting room floor... [Chorus] They’ll be strangers you’d never meet, Songs you’ll never hear, Poetry you’ll never read, About a love and destiny. All these things you’ll never know, If you’d turn today away.... [V3 piano] You’re living, breathing, A life that matters, sewn into the fabric of days. You feel the weight, fraying the edges, Your story’s not finished today!!. Every heartbeat is clearing the grey, So go out and embrace your rain... [Bridge, piano] I know the silence is heavy and cold. You think you’re running out of reasons to show. But the ache is a signal from a lighthouse reach, That guides you to the arms of the beach. [Chorus] They’ll be strangers you’d never meet, Songs you’ll never hear, Poetry you’ll never read, About a love and destiny. All these things you’ll never know, If you’d turn today, away. [Final Verse, sung quietly, piano only] Someday, you may take another’s hand, When yours is wrinkled and old. And you’ll give them the hope that you’ve found, From some words, that you.....now.....hold. [beautiful piano outtro]
