[Verse 1] You came in carrying rain on your coat I was halfway through learning to leave We traded the names of the towns we had known And the reasons we stayed for a week [Verse 2] Some people arrive like a door left ajar Some leave with the season they came No one belongs to another by right Still we make room and give tenderness names [Pre-Chorus] A hand on the table A laugh in the hall A small piece of time Can outlast it all [Chorus] We are not promised, we are not owned We meet for a moment and make it a home Then life keeps on turning, the miles rearrange But what we made together is never erased You were here, I was there And for that little while, we cared [Verse 3] The train pulled away with your scarf in my bag Your number worn soft on a page I kept the last story you told me that night Like a pressed leaf held safe from its age [Pre-Chorus] A hand on the table A laugh in the hall A small piece of time Can outlast it all [Chorus] We are not promised, we are not owned We meet for a moment and make it a home Then life keeps on turning, the miles rearrange But what we made together is never erased You were here, I was there And for that little while, we cared [Bridge] If the road takes you somewhere I’ll never see I won’t call the leaving a debt you owe me I’ll keep the bright hour, the truth that we knew Love isn’t a claim; it’s a thing we choose And every goodbye can still carry its proof That once, in this life, I was lucky with you [Final Chorus] We are not promised, we are not owned We meet for a moment and make it a home Though life keeps on turning, the miles rearrange What we made together is never erased You were here, I was there And for that little while, we cared For that little while, we cared [Outro] The day moves on, the story stays A little time can hold whole days
