[Verse 1] You left your laugh in Lisbon rain Your Sunday coat on a Tokyo train A chipped blue cup in my kitchen sink And half your letters I still can’t bring I keep one hand on the map you drew With coffee rings and a crooked Peru Each little mark says where we’ve been Each empty mile lets the pieces in [Pre-Chorus] I thought a heart was one locked room One front door and one way through Now every border pulls a thread From all the places we called home instead [Chorus] My heart is split in pieces around the world One part where the harbor ropes are curled One part beneath that red Madrid sun One part still asking where you’ve gone And if I cross those miles, will I find The little parts I left behind? My heart is split in pieces around the world Still beating wherever you are [Verse 2] There’s your green scarf in a Montreal drawer A ticket stub by the kitchen door A borrowed book with your note inside That says, “Take the long way, enjoy the ride” I pass the bakery near the old square The woman there still thinks you’re somewhere I nod like I know what she means by “soon” Then ride home under a paper moon [Pre-Chorus] I thought goodbye could close a gate And leave the rest to time and fate But every town keeps one small thing A key, a joke, the way you’d sing [Chorus] My heart is split in pieces around the world One part where the harbor ropes are curled One part beneath that red Madrid sun One part still asking where you’ve gone And if I cross those miles, will I find The little parts I left behind? My heart is split in pieces around the world Still beating wherever you are [Bridge] Maybe the map was never meant To show the way we’d come undone Maybe each piece became a room With its own weather, its own sun I can’t collect the days we lost Or fold the distance small But when I hear your name in passing I still feel every wall fall [Final Chorus] My heart is split in pieces around the world One part where the harbor ropes are curled One part beneath that red Madrid sun One part still asking where you’ve gone And even if I never find The little parts I left behind My heart is split in pieces around the world Still beating wherever you are [Outro] Lisbon rain, Tokyo train Your green scarf, your crooked name A thousand miles, a thousand starts You left your laugh in all my parts
