When We Were Brave

Lyrics

[Verse 1] I found the photo in a drawer Edges worn, our names still clear You were laughing in the doorway Like nothing in the world could fear Your hand in mine, small as a promise Mine around it, trying to stay We were young enough to believe it Every broken road could turn to day [Pre-Chorus] And the night was full of reasons To let go and walk away But you held on to the dream, love And you taught my heart to stay [Chorus] When we were brave We chose the flame We called it love And said its name (when we were brave) When we were brave We still began again We fell, we rose We learned to dream again [Verse 2] Now the house is full of quiet Different rooms and different years But I hear you in the hallway When I touch the place where we were fearless here Some days the world gets heavy Some days I forget the way Then your voice comes back like thunder Saying one more step and we'll be okay [Pre-Chorus] And the night was full of reasons To let go and walk away But you held on to the dream, love And you taught my heart to stay [Chorus] When we were brave We chose the flame We called it love And said its name (when we were brave) When we were brave We still began again We fell, we rose We learned to dream again [Bridge] If time has bent our edges It hasn't broken what was true The courage that we borrowed Still lives in me and you So take my hand like Sunday Like we never lost our spark We'll build a light from what remains And walk back through the dark [Final Chorus] When we were brave We chose the flame We called it love And said its name (when we were brave) When we were brave We still began again We fell, we rose We learned to dream again When we were brave We still believe That love can mend And set us free (when we were brave)
