Borrowed Before (Remastered)

[Verse 1] Grieving for a time I never knew A room in my chest with no address A small brown drawer of half-remembered air A shape in the dark I almost trust One sound can pull me under One scent can make me ache Like my hands have held that summer In some life I can't name [Pre-Chorus] And I don't know why It feels so near Like a door in me I lost before I got here [Chorus] I miss what I can't recall I miss it all, I miss it all Take me back where I never was Back to the home I never had I miss what I can't recall I miss it all, I miss it all If there was a place for me Let it remember me [Verse 2] I follow the pull of old alley shadows In the steam on a windowpane In the taste of rain on a metal gate In the hush after names I keep turning to face it Like someone called me first But the road just keeps on opening To a hunger with no word [Pre-Chorus] And I don't know why It hurts like truth Like my heart was built With a map to you [Chorus] I miss what I can't recall I miss it all, I miss it all Take me back where I never was Back to the home I never had I miss what I can't recall I miss it all, I miss it all If there was a place for me Let it remember me [Bridge] Maybe home is a borrowed light A name my bones can hear Maybe I was made from absence And I carried it for years So if I arrive there Let it be strange and kind Let the lost thing turn its face And call me mine [Chorus] I miss what I can't recall I miss it all, I miss it all Take me back where I never was Back to the home I never had I miss what I can't recall I miss it all, I miss it all If there was a place for me Let it remember me
