We're Still Here | Track 01-15 | 1976

Morning finds the same old walls But something in them’s changed Pictures hang a little lower now Or maybe we’ve just aged There’s a kettle on, the hallway creaks A voice down the stairs And all the years we thought we lost Are standing in the air We were chasing something distant We were running just to run Now the road’s a little quieter But it’s not undone We’re still here After all the nights that almost took us under Still here Through the silence and the thunder We didn’t fade like we thought we might Didn’t disappear We just learned to stand a little different… But we’re still here There’s a coat hung by the doorway That wasn’t there before And smaller shoes beside it now Scattered on the floor We used to talk of leaving Like it was all we’d ever do Now we speak a little softer Like there’s more to lose We were burning through the daylight Like it owed us something more Now we watch it through the window And we’re not unsure We’re still here Through the cracks and all the quiet disappointments Still here Through the years and slow appointments We didn’t break the way we feared Didn’t disappear We just found a different kind of clear… But we’re still here And if the world kept turning without asking us We turned right back the same And every road that didn’t lead us anywhere Still somehow knew our name We’re still here With the weight of everything behind us Still here With the only truth that finds us We didn’t win, we didn’t lose We just stayed sincere And that was always enough to choose… To still be here We’re still here…
