[Intro] I used to ask one question Like it had one answer [Verse 1] You held my keys while I ran for the train You kept them safe, then you lost them again You show up early when somebody’s sick But dates and directions don’t always quite stick I used to sort people in yes or in no A door locked tight or a wide-open road Then I watched you try, watched you miss, watched you learn And found there are corners we earn as we turn [Pre-Chorus] Not every hand can carry every weight Not every promise means the same thing We learn by asking, we learn by time By saying what’s yours, what’s yours and what’s mine [Chorus] Trust isn’t all or nothing It’s knowing where to place it The ways you show up steady The parts we need to name yet I learn the shape of you You learn the shape of me And every honest boundary Makes room for us to meet [Verse 2] You’re good with the truth when the room gets tense But don’t lend you money without talking it through first I keep a secret, but I’m slow to reply You’ll make the hard call when I freeze up inside No verdict, no stamp, no perfect design Just two changing people drawing a line Then moving it gently when something is new The map gets more human the more that we do [Pre-Chorus] Not every hand can carry every weight Not every promise means the same thing We learn by asking, we learn by time By saying what’s yours, what’s yours and what’s mine [Chorus] Trust isn’t all or nothing It’s knowing where to place it The ways you show up steady The parts we need to name yet I learn the shape of you You learn the shape of me And every honest boundary Makes room for us to meet [Bridge] Maybe you can sit beside my grief But not decide how long it stays Maybe I can guard the plans we share But need you to remind me of the dates There’s joy in finding out the edges There’s kindness in a limit understood We don’t have to call each other flawless To notice where we do each other good [Final Chorus] Trust isn’t all or nothing It’s knowing where to place it The ways you show up steady The parts we need to name yet I learn the shape of you You learn the shape of me Each person is a country Worth the time to read [Outro] Not everything, not nothing A little more known each day And in the learning, there’s the joy Of meeting you your way
