Verse 1) Thirteen winters, I counted 'em back Felt the chill creeping through every crack This old leather jacket still smells like your hair There’s a ghost by my side in the passenger chair We built a kingdom on borrowed time Thought every star in the sky was a sign Now the silence is all that I own In this castle of memories, I’m sitting alone (Chorus) And oh, it was a long way to fall From thinking we had it all Just a whisper of smoke and a memory burned A lesson I guess I never had learned But the rain on the window is washing the gray And I’m starting to see the first light of day Yeah, the wreckage is here, but the fire is out And a brand new sun is breaking the doubt (Verse 2) Packed up the pictures, put 'em under the stairs Felt the weight of a million unanswered prayers Started driving with no destination in mind Just trying to leave the old wreckage behind Found a jukebox in some highway-side bar Played a song that didn't remind me of where we are And for a minute, I felt a forgotten release A glimmer of something that felt like peace (Chorus) 'Cause oh, it was a long way to fall From thinking we had it all Just a whisper of smoke and a memory burned A lesson I guess I never had learned But the rain on the window is washing the gray And I’m starting to see the first light of day Yeah, the wreckage is here, but the fire is out And a brand new sun is breaking the doubt (Bridge) A part of my soul will carry the scar But it doesn't decide who I have to be now, who I are This heart isn't broken, it's just broken in Ready for a new story to finally begin And oh, it was a long way to fall! But I'm standing up straight and I'm standing up tall! It was a whisper of smoke and a memory burned! But the tables of my whole damn life have been turned! The rain on the window has washed out the gray! And I’m walking right into the light of the day! The wreckage is fading, the fire is out! And I’m ready for love, there’s no room for doubt
