[Intro] [Instrumental: solo classical guitar] [Verse 1 - Male] I found you where the tall grass leans At the edge of an old July You wore my face at seventeen And kept that restless, lopsided tie [Verse 2 - Female] You asked if all the roads were worth The miles you carried on your back I said, “You’ll lose a little pride, But you’ll learn which things to pack” [Pre-Chorus - Male] I thought I’d know more by now I thought the years would make it clear [Pre-Chorus - Female] They teach you how to ask a question And stay when no one answers near [Chorus - Both] We’re still becoming, still on our way One hand in yesterday, one in today If the light slips down beyond the plain We’ll meet again where the grasses sway You’re not behind, and I’m not through I’m just the road that led to you [Verse 3 - Male] I told you I was scared of time Of all the doors I hadn’t tried [Verse 4 - Female] You laughed and said, “You missed a few— Then found a better one inside” [Pre-Chorus - Male] I thought I’d have it figured out A map with every turn in view [Pre-Chorus - Female] You’ve got a map with coffee stains And somehow that will see you through [Chorus - Both] We’re still becoming, still on our way One hand in yesterday, one in today If the light slips down beyond the plain We’ll meet again where the grasses sway You’re not behind, and I’m not through I’m just the road that led to you [Bridge - Both] The sun goes low, the field turns gold The younger asks, “Do we get old?” The older smiles, “A little, yes— But not so old we can’t make a mess” [Final Chorus - Both] We’re still becoming, still on our way One hand in yesterday, one in today When evening folds the open plain We’ll meet again where the grasses sway You’re not behind, and I’m not through I’m just the road that led to you [Outro - Female] Keep walking; there’s more sky ahead [Outro - Male] And I’ll bring snacks this time [Instrumental: solo classical guitar]
