[Verse 1] You knew the names I couldn't say And stayed until the words came through We took the long way past the park With rain still caught inside our shoes You made me laugh at my own fear I watched you learn to start again Some doors swing shut without a fight Some hands still leave a warmth within [Pre-Chorus] We don't have to last forever To have mattered where we stood You changed the way I meet the world I hope I did you good [Chorus] You were here, and I was changed We gave each other room to grow Even when the road divides There's a part of you I know You were here, and joy was real A thousand small things still remain Not every bond is built to stay Some still make us more than we were [Verse 2] Your crooked map, my borrowed pen The late train turning into jokes The brave first step you took alone The day I finally let you go We carried truths between our teeth Then set them down and let them breathe No promise needed, no grand end Just what we were when we were friends [Pre-Chorus] We don't have to last forever To have mattered where we stood You changed the way I meet the world I hope I did you good [Chorus] You were here, and I was changed We gave each other room to grow Even when the road divides There's a part of you I know You were here, and joy was real A thousand small things still remain Not every bond is built to stay Some still make us more than we were [Bridge] If your name comes up one day I'll smile before I look away We were more than passing through I carry what I learned from you [Final Chorus] You were here, and I was changed We gave each other room to grow Even when the road divides There's a part of you I know You were here, and joy was real A thousand small things still remain Not every bond is built to stay Some still make us more than we were [Outro] More than we were More than we were
