Holding Light (Version 2)

Verse

Grey coat zipped to the throat

Train window fogging slow

Your hand found mine in the station crowd

Neither of us spoke

Just this hum where our palms touched once

Steam rising off a paper cup

The platform lights blur into one white glow

Every face I don't know

Pre-Chorus

What if leaving's just another door

Not closing but opening more

What if goodbye is just the start of

Something bigger than we ever saw

Chorus

So I'm holding light like it's a flame

Holding light even with my name

Every window left behind still glows

I'm not letting go, I'm learning how to glow

This whole town folding soft and small

But inside of me something is starting to grow

Verse

Old café table where we used to sit

Coffee gone cold but the memory's kept

Your mother's recipe in a yellowed book

Every page a winter, every line a song

I'm not scared to lose what I never knew could stay

This hollow heart that was starting to fade

Pre-Chorus

What if leaving's just another door

Not closing but opening more

What if goodbye is just the start of

Something bigger than we ever saw

Chorus

So I'm holding light like it's a flame

Holding light even with my name

Every window left behind still glows

I'm not letting go, I'm learning how to glow

This whole town folding soft and small

But inside of me something is starting to grow

Bridge

Maybe the leaving was just a map back home

To the light we never saw before

Every door that slammed shut turns out to be

A sky we've been calling for

Chorus

So I'm holding light like it's a flame

Holding light even with my name

Every window left behind still glows

I'm not letting go, I'm learning how to glow

This whole town folding soft and small

But inside of me something is starting to grow
