[Verse 1] You laughed with your head thrown back At the wrong turn past the station Rain tapped time on the paper map We made a joke of our misdirection [Pre-Chorus] Some hands loosen, some doors close Still, something in us learns to open [Chorus] You were here, and that was real A bright mark no distance can conceal We changed each other, then we changed Still I’m glad our paths once crossed this way [Verse 2] You taught me how to take my time I showed you where the footbridge ended We traded songs and borrowed lines And watched the afternoon turn amber [Pre-Chorus] Not every promise has to last To leave a kindness in its passing [Chorus] You were here, and that was real A bright mark no distance can conceal We changed each other, then we changed Still I’m glad our paths once crossed this way [Bridge] If I meet you years from now I’ll know the shape of that old laughter Not a debt, not a vow Just a life that mattered after [Final Chorus] You were here, and that was real A bright mark no distance can conceal We changed each other, then we changed Still I’m glad our paths once crossed this way [Outro] Still glad our paths crossed this way
