[Verse 1] I woke up in the spill of dawn Shoelace fray and a bitten thumb Your name still taped to the fridge Like proof that I was here I carried the heavy little days Bus stop rain on my cuffed-up jeans Counting scars like change in my hand Trying to learn what stays [Pre-Chorus] If I fall, I fall awake If I break, I break in motion Every loss has a shape Every breath has a direction [Chorus] This is my life, my life I hear it call my name This is my life, my life I will not look away Hold me up, hold me up When the road turns mean This is my life, my life And I’m still in the scene [Verse 2] Late-night noodles, cold window steam A cracked phone screen, a half-sent text We laughed so hard at nothing at all Till the room went soft and bright Now the old fears wear newer clothes Same black shoes, same bitter taste But I found a fire in the wreck And I can face the shape [Pre-Chorus] If I fall, I fall awake If I break, I break in motion Every loss has a shape Every breath has a direction [Chorus] This is my life, my life I hear it call my name This is my life, my life I will not look away Hold me up, hold me up When the road turns mean This is my life, my life And I’m still in the scene [Bridge] [Instrumental swell] I was made from the rain And the things that I lost From the hands that let go From the nights that I crossed Say my name, say it clear When the dark comes in I was never just gone I was learning to begin [Final Chorus] This is my life, my life I hear it call my name This is my life, my life I will not look away Hold me up, hold me up When the road turns mean This is my life, my life And I’m still in the scene
