[Verse 1] There’s a notch in the pine by the kitchen light A pencil mark from a rainy night We stood on our heels, stretching up so high Laughing at how the months go by But the dust settles down in the quiet spaces And the names fade away on the familiar faces [Chorus] Another line, another year Same heart, different weather We’re still holding on to what we keep near Just trying to put it together It's a slow step forward, a scratch in the wood Learning to stand where we never thought we would [Verse 2] The seasons roll out like an old grey rug And the tea goes cold in my favorite mug A pocket full of seeds that I forgot to sow A quiet kind of patience in the way we grow I can hear the wind through the window pane Washing the dust off the glass again [Chorus] Another line, another year Same heart, different weather We’re still holding on to what we keep near Just trying to put it together It's a slow step forward, a scratch in the wood Learning to stand where we never thought we would [Bridge] Sometimes progress is a silent thing Not the sudden warmth of an early spring Just a steady hand on a faded line Saying we're doing just fine [Instrumental: fingerpicked acoustic guitar and melancholic harmonica solo] [Outro] Chalk on the doorframe, dust on the floor We aren't the same as we were before Just another line Another year Same heart [End]
