Another Life

歌词

[Verse 1] I kept your letter in the kitchen drawer Beneath the receipts from the corner store Some words grow quiet but they don't disappear They wait in the ordinary year [Pre-Chorus] If I had one more turn through the door I would know what I was running for [Chorus] In another life, I would take your hand Before the train pulled out of town We'd make a home from a borrowed plan And let the small days hold us down In another life, when the timing was kind I would say the truth before goodbye But this one keeps moving, mile by mile So I carry your name in another life [Verse 2] I passed the old cafe last Saturday They changed the paint but kept the wooden chairs A woman laughed the way you used to laugh And I stayed until the room went quiet again [Pre-Chorus] Maybe every road we leave behind Still bends somewhere beneath the signs [Chorus] In another life, I would take your hand Before the train pulled out of town We'd make a home from a borrowed plan And let the small days hold us down In another life, when the timing was kind I would say the truth before goodbye But this one keeps moving, mile by mile So I carry your name in another life [Bridge] I don't need to make the past return Some doors close and still teach us what we learned If we meet beyond the years we couldn't save I will thank you for the road you gave [Final Chorus] In another life, I would take your hand But here I finally understand Love can leave and still remain Like summer warmth inside the rain In another life, when the timing was kind Maybe you will find me on the other side Until then, I will walk beneath this sky And carry what was ours in another life [Outro] Another life Another life I let you go, but not goodbye
