[Verse 1: Male] You leave the porch light on at five While morning gathers by the gate I fold the map we used to drive And let the kettle learn to wait [Verse 1: Female] The blue cup rests beside the sink Your book is open, page nineteen I read the sentence, stop, and think How quiet rooms can still be seen [Chorus: Duet] If you take my hand, take it slowly There is no need to outrun the years We can name the things we carry And make a little room for tears If you take my hand, stay beside me Let the truth arrive without a sound Every road we thought was ending May be where we turn around [Verse 2: Male] I hear the floorboards answer yours Two careful footsteps down the hall The rain has softened on the doors And neither of us asks it to fall [Verse 2: Female] I bring the coat you left upstairs You button it beneath your chin A thread of silver in your hair A place for starting over in [Bridge: Duet] We were not broken, only weathered Not lost, just learning how to bend Some promises grow stronger When they are spoken once again [Final Chorus: Duet] So take my hand, take it slowly Let the whole wide morning find us here We can name the things we carry And leave the weight beside the years Take my hand, stay beside me Let the quiet open like a door Every road we thought was ending Leads us somewhere worth walking for [Outro: Duet] Somewhere worth walking for Together, somewhere worth walking for
