[spoken-word] If we counted every spark, every bruise, every start, the hands that pulled us under, the hands that pulled us apart. Love in a kitchen chair, hate in a slammed front door, my name in your teeth at midnight, my knees on the floor. [Pre-Chorus] And all that heat kept stacking high, a storm in the chest, a wave in the eye. We broke, we bent, we begged, we burned, and still we came around, returned. [Chorus] Take the tally of my heart Take the tally of the dark All my rapture all my fear You were here you were here Take the tally of my heart We were fire from the start [spoken-word] There were days like iron, days like open rain, days I wore your silence like a second name. Terror at the doorway, hope in a paper cup, tender as a match flame, ready to lift up. Hands full of wanting, mouth full of dust, every wild devotion turning into us. [Pre-Chorus] And all that heat kept stacking high, a storm in the chest, a wave in the eye. We broke, we bent, we begged, we burned, and still we came around, returned. [Chorus] Take the tally of my heart Take the tally of the dark All my rapture all my fear You were here you were here Take the tally of my heart We were fire from the start [Bridge] Let it all be named, the wound and the bloom, the howl in the hallway, the rose in the room. Let the whole life shake, let the whole thing ring, love is a violent and holy thing. [Final Chorus] Take the tally of my heart Take the tally of the dark All my rapture all my fear You were here you were here Take the tally of my heart We were fire from the start Take the tally of my heart Still alive in every scar
