[Verse 1] You met me by the river after work With paper boats and stories to unpack We traded little truths beneath the bridge And sent our laughter skipping down the black [Pre-Chorus] Some hands find ours for just a little while Still, something in us changes when they do [Chorus] You were a bright part of my life A page I’ll keep though we turned it over We made a little more of who we are And left each other braver than before Not every road can run alongside But what we gave still travels with me [Verse 2] I learned to say the thing I used to swallow You learned that asking wasn’t being weak We cheered each other through the small beginnings And found our courage in the words we’d speak [Pre-Chorus] Some hands find ours for just a little while Still, something in us changes when they do [Chorus] You were a bright part of my life A page I’ll keep though we turned it over We made a little more of who we are And left each other braver than before Not every road can run alongside But what we gave still travels with me [Bridge] So here’s to every laugh that made us lighter Every honest word that helped us grow We don’t have to hold on to be grateful Love can leave a gift and let us go [Final Chorus] You were a bright part of my life A page I’ll keep though we turned it over We made a little more of who we are And left each other braver than before Not every road can run alongside But what we gave still travels with me [Outro] What we gave still travels with me
