Prompt / Lyrics
[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
