[Verse 1] Now I know... It was only a symptom Something beneath the surface An underlying condition I searched for an answer I looked for a replacement Turning every locked door Into another existence [Verse 2] Then I met you, a graceful presence A throwback dressed in sunlight Living only in the moment As if tomorrow owed you nothing I was drawn in immediately Maybe that was the warning A red flag in plain daylight Blinded by your radiance [Pre-Chorus] You found the empty room in me Cracked open a spiritual door And planted something in silence I didn't understand what for [Chorus] One moment, I was waking One moment, I could see There was something through that doorway Something waiting there for me And the moment passed between us The light began to fade But the door you cracked open Remained... [Verse 3] It happened at a party You asked why I wasn't drinking I still remember what you said You liked when your partners knocked a few back That's all it took to close the distance That's all it took to lose the time We ran headfirst toward the wreckage Calling every warning a good time [Verse 4] It became a crash course In a mind-altering seduction Every answer changed its shape Every grace became a sin When we finally called it over We went our separate ways No final scene, no explanation No voices crossing again [Bridge] I reached the bottom later that year And found what you had left ajar The door was heavy, it moved slowly And I finally walked through [Near Silence] Twenty years passed. [Verse 5] Then I learned you weren't so lucky Six months after we said goodbye You were gone - Falling into a dream... Never waking up... And suddenly I remembered Who first opened that door [Final Chorus] God's plans rarely make sense To those of us down here Why one of us gets another morning And one just disappears I carry no clean victory I only carry what remains A little breath, a borrowed time And the memory of your name You cracked that door open Long before I understood I finally walked through it When I no longer thought I could [Outro] Every sunrise I remember where I've been I was spared the wreckage Of the life I lived back then You cracked the door open And I finally walked in.
