Bright Enough to Believe You

Verse

Porch light humming at the edge of town

Your suitcase leaning where the paint wore down

Two coffee cups still warm on the rail

One for staying, one for setting sail

Pre-Chorus

So how do we say it

Without breaking the glass

Is this the ending

Or the start we didn't ask

Chorus

Headlights fading down the county line

But your taillights look like stars tonight

Every mile you go still feels like mine

You're far enough to miss but bright enough to believe you

Bright enough to believe you

Verse

Static on the radio, three a.m.

Your voice comes through it clearer than it's been

The clock on the dash keeps counting slow

I read your last text like it's the only light I know

Pre-Chorus

So how do we carry

What we couldn't keep whole

Is this just an ending

Or a map for the road

Chorus

Headlights fading down the county line

But your taillights look like stars tonight

Every mile you go still feels like mine

You're far enough to miss but bright enough to believe you

Bright enough to believe you

Bridge

Maybe goodbye's just a porch light left on

Burning for someone who isn't quite gone

I'll count the exits, I'll count the years

Turn all this distance into something clear

Chorus

Headlights fading down the county line

But your taillights look like stars tonight

Every mile you go still feels like mine

You're far enough to miss but bright enough to believe you

Far enough to miss but bright enough to believe you

Bright enough to believe you
