[Verse 1] In another sky, I notice When the blue begins to bend I do not call it only brightness When it reaches for your end I hold my orbit softer Leave you room to breathe Do not make a constellation Out of what you tried to leave In another sky, the evening Does not tighten when I speak I do not turn my lonely Into something you must keep And when your silence gathers Like a moon behind a veil I learn the shape of listening Before the light goes pale [Pre-Chorus] I can almost see us there Through the glass of what I know Two small lights, less frightened Learning when to glow [Chorus] In another sky I learned your light in time Kept the stars from rearranging Every time I lost my mind In another sky We did not have to choose Between the hand still reaching And the gravity we knew I can almost see us there Soft as a different truth In another sky I did not cost you [Verse 2] In another sky, I ask you Where the hurting starts to live I do not make my hunger Larger than what you can give I place my fear down gently Like a match beside the rain Do not make you warm your fingers On the fever of my name In another sky, I love you With the windows open wide No locked room full of echoes No swallowing the tide You laugh and I remember Not to turn it into proof That every fragile miracle Was made to tell me truth [Pre-Chorus] I can almost see us there Where the dawn comes in slow Two small lights, less desperate Learning how to glow [Chorus] In another sky I learned your light in time Kept the stars from rearranging Every time I lost my mind In another sky We did not have to choose Between the hand still reaching And the gravity we knew I can almost see us there Soft as a different truth In another sky I did not cost you [Bridge] Somewhere I am easier Somewhere you are safe Somewhere love does not arrive With all my ache in its wake Somewhere I am careful When the heavens start to shake Somewhere I know tenderness Before the bright thing breaks But I am standing in this weather With my hands around the view Looking through a borrowed telescope At the world where I knew you And I cannot fold the distance I cannot trade the blue I can only name the softer star That should have led me to you [Final Chorus] In another sky I learned your light in time Kept the stars from rearranging Every time I lost my mind In another sky We did not have to choose Between the hand still reaching And the gravity we knew I can almost see us there Soft as a different truth In another sky I did not cost you [Outro] In another sky, I loved you With a quieter kind of flame Here, I watch that version fade And softly speak your name
