We carry light where it's needed most (versione 2)

Verse 1

Your scarf is still on the porch swing creaking in the wind

A silver thread that didn't break when you gave it up again

I've kept it all these years, a fragile ghost of you

Every time I touch it something else starts shining through

Pre-Chorus

Maybe this isn't letting go at all

Maybe I'm just carrying it across the fall

Chorus

We carry light where it's needed most

In our pockets like the sun behind the frost

You left with nothing but the shadow of your name

And yet we still remember the way the fire used to flame

Verse 2

The house is empty now, the windows are all new glass

But in my wallet, that scarf stays pressed against my chest as if

I'm saving something from a time when every goodbye felt like an end

Now I think it's just the start of where we'll begin

Pre-Chorus

Maybe this isn't letting go at all

Maybe I'm just carrying it across the fall

Chorus

We carry light where it's needed most

In our pockets like the sun behind the frost

You left with nothing but the shadow of your name

And yet we still remember the way the fire used to flame

Bridge

Not every departure means we're lost

Some roads just twist back around till you're home at last

I'll hold on tight to this small piece of gold

Till the sun comes up where the shadows fold

Chorus

We carry light where it's needed most

In our pockets like the sun behind the frost

You left with nothing but the shadow of your name

And yet we still remember the way the fire used to flame
