Still My Place
There’s a road that still runs through me But it don’t lead back to you City lights keep me moving But they can’t replace the truth I didn’t leave from a broken heart Nothing shattered, nothing broke Just a quiet pull inside me Like a fire I had to stoke You were standing in the driveway Under skies that used to shine I was chasing something bigger Left a piece of you behind Now the nights are getting colder Even in the crowded air Every face I pass is hollow Like they’re there but not quite there And sometimes in the distance Through the noise and through the light I feel your memory creeping Like a shadow in my mind It’s not regret that haunts me It’s not a wound that bleeds It’s just a quiet knowing You were everything to me You’re still the one I never left behind Still that fire buried deep in time Still that sky, still that road in my mind I can’t unwind You’re still the one I can’t erase Still the light I can’t replace I moved on, but it don’t mean gone You’re still my place There ain’t no perfect ending Just the lines we never crossed A love that stayed untouched by damage But somehow still got lost Every mile I’m running Every ghost I’ve come to know Feels a little more like you The further that I go It ain’t pain that keeps you here It ain’t a story left undone It’s the quiet kind of love That still outlives the sun You’re still the one I never left behind Still that fire buried deep in time Still that sky, still that road in my mind I can’t unwind You’re still the one I can’t erase Still the light I can’t replace I moved on, but it don’t mean gone You’re still my place If I close my eyes tonight I can feel you in the air Not a ghost, not a memory Just a love that lingers there Maybe some things never end They just learn how to remain Living softly in the spaces Between the joy and the pain You’re still the one I never left behind Still that fire buried deep in time Still that sky, still that road in my mind I can’t unwind You’re still the one I can’t erase Still the light I can’t replace I moved on, but it don’t mean gone You’re still my place If this ever finds your silence On some late and lonely night I hope you hear the truth inside it In the quiet after life I didn’t leave you empty I just followed a different line But every road I’ve taken Still keeps leading back in time And if forever means anything at all… It’s that somewhere in time, we never had to say goodbye.
