Lyrics

Verse 1
I remember coffee steam, Tuesday sunrise on your cheek
Dancing in the hallway, kids were laughing at our feet
Life felt like a tangled braid—we pulled but stayed together
Now the knot is loose, but the threads still hold the weather

Pre‑Chorus
You and I don’t paint the world in the same familiar hue
But London finds her purple sky, and Liam loves his blue

Chorus
So I’ll keep the porch‑light burning, keep the stories on the shelf
We can argue ’bout the journey, but the map is for themselves
We were fire, we were water—now we’re rivers on our own
Yet every mile between us… is still their home

Verse 2
Promises in courtrooms, words that cut like broken glass
But I see you in their courage, hear your kindness when they laugh
If the road feels sharp and narrow, every step we walk apart
May the children see a bridge, not a battlefield of hearts

Pre‑Chorus
I won’t claim to have the answers or rewrite the things we’ve done
But I’ll teach them love’s a language spoken more than only one

Chorus
So I’ll keep the porch‑light burning, keep the stories on the shelf
We can argue ’bout the journey, but the map is for themselves
We were fire, we were water—now we’re rivers on our own
Yet every mile between us… is still their home

Bridge
Let’s trade the thunder for a whisper, the blame for quiet grace
They deserve a sky of daylight, not a storm in either place
If tomorrow needs forgiveness, I’ll leave my pride behind
’Cause two hands hold a compass better than one hand drawing lines

Final Chorus
And I’ll keep the porch‑light burning, keep their dreams beside my bed
You can hold them through the nights when fears echo in their heads
We were chapters in one story—now we’re verses in a poem
But every word we give them… is still their home

Outro
Yeah, every word we give them
Is still… their… home.
