(“ooo—mmm—ooo”) I walked through years built crooked, where the ground kept giving way You held the calm like something sacred, I just let it fade each day My steps kept losing rhythm like a road that won’t align Every try became a question I could never make into a sign (“never a sign…”) Maybe hope just bends too far when the nights don’t end But I still hear the old refrain from the place we used to pretend So leave the weight behind us now, let the morning settle true If the road recalls a broken vow, it still remembers me and you And if time can mend what faltered, let it open something new ’Cause every path I tried to follow kept pulling me from you (“pulling me from you…”) We held the truth like folded letters we were scared to read aloud Tried to fix the quiet tremble when our voices hit the crowd Even steady hearts can crumble when they lean on things undone And the hardest kind of losing is the losing that’s begun (“already begun…”) Every place we crossed still marks the fears we hid And between the lines unspoken lived the things I never did So leave the weight behind us now, let the daylight teach us why If the past can shape a broken step, it can show a clearer sky And though time wore thin the meaning of the things we thought were true Every road I failed to steady still winds its way to you (“way to you… way to you…”) There’s a heartbeat in returning when we face what we denied A reminder in the quiet that we’re not what we implied And though distance took the color from the truths we never found It carries love like worn-out steps still steady on the ground (“still steady on the ground…”) [Instrumental Solo] So leave the weight behind us now, let the morning guide us through If the heart can keep a rhythm, it will find a place for two And the days we lost return again in colors breaking through ’Cause every turn I ever faltered still points me back to you (“back to you… back to you…”)
