[Intro] [Long Intro] [Verse 1] I wore it when the weather turned the sky went black and the engines burned I stood there calm as sirens cried said, “this is how the strong survive” They pulled me from the waterline said “that coat of yours is a sign” but I just laughed, polite and thin and brushed the floodwater off my skin [Chorus] My coat has a silver lining stitched in deep and out of sight and I keep on finding meaning in every long and losing night yes I keep on walking forward through the wreckage and the grime because I know it must be working my coat has a silver lining [Verse 2] I wore it down to the factory floor they closed the gates and locked the door the foreman wouldn’t meet my eye he said “this place is dead, don’t try” But I just nodded like I knew as if this was the right thing to do like endings are a kind of start a useful break for the broken heart [Chorus] My coat has a silver lining it don’t explain, it just implies that every fall is just arriving at some disguised and better sky so I stand among the rubble like I’m part of something fine and I trust what I am wearing my coat has a silver lining [Bridge] don’t remember choosing it just that the rain would not quit so I pulled it on to stay dry and after that I kept it on Maybe it was never mine may be I just stepped inside and called it shelter for a while where everything felt easier They say it’s cursed, they say it’s wrong say nothing good can last too long but I only trust what I can feel and it’s kept me from the cold [Long Solo] [Verse 3] I wore it when the house gave way they said “you should’ve moved today” but I just watched it settle down like it was trying to leave this town They said “you can’t keep living like this ” I said “you can’t see what you’ve missed” there’s something moving underneath beneath the loss, beneath the grief [Chorus] My coat has a silver lining and I can feel it drawing near like some delayed but certain timing that turns collapse into career so I won’t question what I’m given I won’t ask how or why or when because I know it’s all aligning and it will turn around again My coat has a silver lining and I’ll be right in time to see the moment everything is proving it was always meant to be [Outro] “One day soon… I’ll look around and none of this will weigh me down it’s coming clear, I can feel the sign… my coat has a silver lining” [Outro] [End Now] [End]
