Verse 1 The coffee was cooling, the sunlight rolled in, The day felt so ordinary ‘til they walked in. Two strangers in uniform stood on my porch, And life split in two with a knock on the door. Chorus And I’m still standing between then and now, Learning to live with the why and the how. Time keeps on moving but it don’t restore The life we once knew before the knock on the door. Verse 2 They handed me a flag, they spoke words of pride, But pride is no comfort when the one you love has died. Your laughter still lingers, your boots in the hall, But the house feels so empty, and tears still fall. Chorus And I’m still standing between then and now, Learning to live with the why and the how. Time keeps on moving but it don’t restore, The life we once knew before the knock on the door. Bridge Seasons roll forward, the children grow tall, But you’re frozen in pictures that hang on the wall. Grief is a war I keep fighting each day, Some battles you lose, and they don’t go away. Final Chorus And I’m still standing between then and now, Learning to live with the why and the how. Time builds a distance but my heart is sore, Forever I’ll carry that knock on the door. Outro Forever I’ll carry… that knock on the door.
