[Verse 1] You found me mid-sentence, the room lost its walls We laughed at a thought neither finished at all Your strange little courage got under my skin I left with a new way to begin [Pre-Chorus] Not every door stays open wide Some lights are brief, still change the night [Chorus] We were here, we were real No forever can take what we feel Every goodbye leaves a spark in the wire A little more nerve, a little more fire We were here—let it ring A short-lived thing can change everything [Verse 2] We traded our fears for a ridiculous plan Made a whole kingdom from one paper fan You showed me the joke in the weight I could bear I carry that laugh like a pulse in the air [Pre-Chorus] The road splits up; the warmth stays true I’m more myself for having known you [Chorus] We were here, we were real No forever can take what we feel Every goodbye leaves a spark in the wire A little more nerve, a little more fire We were here—let it ring A short-lived thing can change everything [Outro] Somewhere, you’re laughing. Somewhere, I am too.
