I kept your note in the drawer Under the spare change Folded up small Like it could stay the same The ring still sits by the sink I don't make a fuss I reach before I think Then I remember us And I laugh a little Then I fall apart Some things leave footprints Some things leave a mark I still carry you I still carry you Like a song I know But can’t sing through I still carry you I still carry you Half a wound, half a light That I never outgrew On the bus ride home I watched the river slide Gray as old denim Pulling at the tide Everybody’s got A place they return to Mine is a silence That still sounds like you And I smile a little Then it slips away Some names fade slowly Some names always stay I still carry you I still carry you Like a song I know But can’t sing through I still carry you I still carry you Half a wound, half a light That I never outgrew Maybe that’s the way Love learns to remain Not in the holding But in the shape it changed So I let it ache Let it be enough Some goodbyes don’t end They just soften up I still carry you I still carry you Like a song I know But can’t sing through I still carry you I still carry you Half a wound, half a light That I never outgrew Half a wound, half a light I still carry you
