[Verse 1] Dust on the window Old maps spread across the floor You spent a lifetime Chasing endings, counting wars Then one quiet evening In a room you almost passed You felt a flutter And the future looking back [Chorus] This is only the beginning Where your questions learn to breathe All the pages you’ve been thinning Turn to branches, turn to leaves You thought wisdom meant an answer Now it shakes you like a wind Hand on her small, bright secret And the story steps back in [Verse 2] Names in your notebook Crossed out, underlined in red All of your reasons Filing ghosts inside your head Then her laughing softly At the fear behind your eyes “Feel,” she says, “he’s moving” And your certainty unties [Chorus] This is only the beginning Where your questions learn to breathe All the pages you’ve been thinning Turn to branches, turn to leaves You thought wisdom meant an answer Now it trembles in your skin Hand on her warm, brave body And the story steps back in [Bridge] All the laws you carved in stone Fade like chalk in falling rain Tiny heartbeat in your palm Writes a truer law again (oh) Every end you swore was final Softly opens from within [Chorus] This is only the beginning Hear it whisper through your grief All the endings you were spinning Fold to make a paper seed You thought wisdom meant an answer Now it’s letting love begin Hand on the pulse of someone Who will ask what you once did
