[Verse 1] You met me halfway through a sentence And somehow heard the part I hid We traded maps of old mistakes Then laughed at where the arrows led [Pre-Chorus] Not every hand is meant to hold Until the last page turns Some leave a mark that keeps on moving Some teach the heart its nerve [Chorus] What we gave each other stays In the way I meet the day In the courage that I found When your voice was near Even if the road divides Even if the names grow quiet I am more than I was then And I carry the good we made [Verse 2] We took the long way past the river Argued over which bridge to cross You made a game of missed directions I learned that wrong turns weren’t a loss [Pre-Chorus] No promise has to last forever To have been true and bright A brief hello can change the shape Of how we live our lives [Chorus] What we gave each other stays In the way I meet the day In the courage that I found When your voice was near Even if the road divides Even if the names grow quiet I am more than I was then And I carry the good we made [Bridge] I hope you found your open window Your laugh still easy, your feet sure I’ll keep the part of me you woke up Not as a debt, but as a door [Final Chorus] What we gave each other stays In the way I meet the day In the courage that I found When your voice was near Even if the road divides Even if the names grow quiet I am more than I was then And I carry the good we made [Outro] A life can turn because we crossed A little while was still enough
