[Verse 1]
I danced with you in the kitchen
Bare feet on that old tile floor
Coffee cups crowdin’ the counter
We still wanted a little bit more
We made love out in the pasture
Under that wide open sky
You traced my name on my shoulder
Like you’d never have to say goodbye
[Chorus]
Kitchen light, starlit sky
We lived so hard, we burned so bright
Thought we had all of our days
Turns out they can slip away
My world don’t turn the same
Since you ain’t here to call my name
I’m learning how to breathe through the pain
But my life’s not the same
[Verse 2]
Your boots still by the back door
Your sweater on your favorite chair
I swear I feel you in the doorway
Then I blink and there’s just air
I talk to you in the evening
Like you’re sittin’ on that porch swing still
Tell you ’bout the quiet and the weather
And how every sunset hurts a little
[Chorus]
Kitchen light, starlit sky
We lived so hard, we burned so bright
Thought we had all of our days
Turns out they can slip away
My world don’t turn the same
Since you ain’t here to call my name
I’m learning how to breathe through the pain
But my life’s not the same
[Bridge]
If love is all that we can carry
Then I’m holding every mile, every kiss (oh yeah)
I’d give back every borrowed tomorrow
For one more night like this
[Chorus]
Kitchen light, starlit sky
We lived so hard, we burned so bright
Thought we had all of our days
Turns out they can slip away
My world don’t turn the same
Since you ain’t here to call my name
I’m learning how to breathe through the pain
But my life’s not the same
My life’s not the same
