Where The Light Still Lives

The floorboards creak under the weight of years Memories, like ghosts, still linger here The walls still catch the afternoon glow And shadows dance where footsteps used to go The kitchen clock Still ticks too slow I see handprints on the old piano The couch we jumped on leans to the side the tree out back remembers your first climb This quiet holds what time can’t steal The joy, the loss, the love, the pain But these memories, they don’t feel real They blur and bend, but still remain This is where the light still lives In the space between what was and is The laughter’s gone, but it echoes still A part of me, it always will This is where the light still lives. The ceilings, they still glow with stars The driveway's stained from my first car The height marks chiseled on the wall Each faded line reminds us all This is where the light still lives In the space between what was and is The laughter’s gone, but it echoes still A part of me, it always will This is where the light still lives The attic’s full of abandoned plans Old journals scrawled in younger hands A broken bat, an empty frame The picture lost, but it means the same This is where the light still lives In the space between what was and is The laughter’s gone, but it echoes still A part of me, it always will This is where the light still lives This is where the light still lives In the space between what was and is Though the years are gone, I’ll always know This is the place that helped me grow This quiet holds what time can’t steal The joy, the loss, the love, the pain But these memories, they don’t feel real They blur and bend, but still remain This is where the light still lives In the space between what was and is The laughter’s gone, but it echoes still A part of me, it always will This is where the light still lives The light still lives This is where the light still lives
