[Verse 1]
I’m at the edge of the map
Shoes full of dust
My hands still shake
When I open the cuts
Old photo in my palm
Folded up thin
All the nights I survived
Come back again
I can hear my mama’s laugh
Down the hall
My first cold fear
My first hard fall
Every scar I earned
Still tells the truth
I was breaking my bones
Just to find my proof
[Pre-Chorus]
And I’m still here
Still breathing slow
Carrying names
Only I know
If this is the last mile
Then let it show
What I was given
What I let grow
[Chorus]
I made it this far
I made it this far
Hold all my memories
Hold them in your heart
I made it this far
I made it this far
If the road goes dark
I was love from the start
[Verse 2]
My brother on the curb
With a busted grin
My cousin on the porch
Singing bad and thin
Summer in the yard
Sweat on my neck
Bare feet, blacktop
I can still see that wreck
I lost some years
To the weight I wore
Closed every door
Then begged for more
But every face I hurt
And every one I saved
Lives in the fire
That I carried today
[Pre-Chorus]
And I’m still here
Still breathing slow
Carrying names
Only I know
If this is the last mile
Then let it show
What I was given
What I let grow
[Chorus]
I made it this far
I made it this far
Hold all my memories
Hold them in your heart
I made it this far
I made it this far
If the road goes dark
I was love from the start
[Bridge]
Tell me the sky
Still keeps my name
Tell me my mistakes
Ain’t all I became
I was the boy
With the scraped-up knees
Now I’m laying it down
At the edge of the peace
[Tape Stop]
If I go quiet
Don’t call it gone
I’m in the songs
You were humming along
[Final Chorus]
I made it this far
I made it this far
Hold all my memories
Hold them in your heart
I made it this far
I made it this far
If the road goes dark
I was love from the start
I made it this far
I made it this far
(hold me close)
I made it this far
I made it this far
(still in your heart)
