Lyrics
[Verse 1]
There’s a folder on the chair
By the hospital bag
Your pen still in the cap
Your shoes by the bed
You wrote my name twice
Like you knew I’d stay
And every page says
What your mouth couldn’t say
[Pre-Chorus]
You said, "Don’t let this house go quiet
Don’t let my picture turn to dust"
If I can’t carry your whole body
I’ll carry what you gave to us
[Chorus]
Stay soft
Stay brave
Keep my laugh in your veins
Stay soft
Stay brave
When the dark takes my name
Tell them I loved hard
Tell them I loved true
And if I’m not here tomorrow
I’m still with you
[Verse 2]
The IV line hums
Like rain on the pane
You joked about the nurse
And I laughed through the ache
You squeezed my hand once
Like a final drum beat
Then pointed at the window
Said, "Go live for me"
[Pre-Chorus]
You said, "Don’t let this house go quiet
Don’t let my picture turn to dust"
If I can’t carry your whole body
I’ll carry what you gave to us
[Chorus]
Stay soft
Stay brave
Keep my laugh in your veins
Stay soft
Stay brave
When the dark takes my name
Tell them I loved hard
Tell them I loved true
And if I’m not here tomorrow
I’m still with you
[Bridge]
So I’ll burn every letter
I’ll read every line
I’ll plant your last words
In the front yard line by line
When the frost comes crawling
And the cold cuts deep
I’ll hear you in the kitchen
I’ll hear you in the leaves
[Final Chorus]
Stay soft
Stay brave
Keep my laugh in your veins
Stay soft
Stay brave
When the dark takes my name
Tell them I loved hard
Tell them I loved true
And if I’m not here tomorrow
I’m still with you
Stay soft
Stay brave
That was your message through
Stay soft
Stay brave
I’m gonna live for two

Sad rock ballad with mid-tempo driving drums, palm-muted verse guitars, and a soaring chorus; verse stays intimate with clean electric guitar and restrained bass, pre-chorus opens into tom builds and stacked harmonies, chorus hits with wide power chords and an octave lead. Lead vocal is close-mic and aching in verses, doubled and grit-lifted on hooks, with gang harmonies on the final phrase. Tape hiss, reverse cymbal swells, and a delayed guitar harmonic bridge the sections. Big, open, emotional mix with a raw live-room edge., sad, rock
