Margins of Us

Lyrics

Verse 1 Accidentally let you go, a dog-eared page in the rain To Kill a Mockingbird carried my heart, now it’s gone again But you brought her back with ink in the white space Whispers in the margins, pulling me from that empty place Pre-Chorus Great Expectations in a little free library shelf Strangers trading secrets, becoming something else Line by line, chapter by chapter, we rewrite the hurt Chorus In the margins of us, we found a way to speak Through the pages of the past where the broken learn to breathe Second chances in the footnotes, forgiveness in the seams You and me in the book swap, turning loss into a dream Yeah, we’re living in the margins, where the story’s still unfolding Verse 2 You don’t know the ghosts I carry, the friend I talk to in the chair I don’t know the weight you shoulder, the history we unknowingly share Wuthering winds and Gatsby’s green light on the shore We chase the words like lifelines, wanting so much more Pre-Chorus From Belle to Beloved, On the Road and back again Healing in the silence between what we can’t say out loud Chorus In the margins of us, we found a way to speak Through the pages of the past where the broken learn to breathe Second chances in the footnotes, forgiveness in the seams You and me in the book swap, turning loss into a dream Yeah, we’re living in the margins… Bridge One person I swore I’d never forgive… But here in the white space, maybe we both get to live The sun on the snow, the boy and the melting man I don’t want to be gone—I want to be the light that lingers when you’re gone Final Chorus In the margins of us, we rewrote the end From grief to “maybe more,” from strangers to again No more hiding in the chapters of what used to be You and me in the book swap—finally free Living in the margins… where our story begins again
