[Verse 1]
You were boxing up your dreams
Cardboard castles in the hall
Saying
"Maybe this just isn’t
Me at all"
You laughed like it was nothing
But your eyes told on your hands
Shaking as you folded
Every plan
[Pre-Chorus]
If the weight gets heavy
I’ll lean in too
If the sky falls steady
I’ll hold it for you
[Chorus]
The road I take for you
I would walk it barefoot
Bleeding
Through the dark
Through every season
I’ll still choose you
If it breaks me clean in two
Every mile
I’m still believing
All this hurt has hidden meaning
On the road I take for you
[Verse 2]
We were eating cold leftovers
Talking circles
Talking doubt
You said
"Love is just a word
People grow out"
But your head slid to my shoulder
While the dishes soaked and cooled
Silence doing what
Words can’t do
[Pre-Chorus]
If your faith runs empty
I’ll share mine too
If your past feels deadly
I’ll stand in that room
[Chorus]
The road I take for you
I would walk it barefoot
Bleeding
Through the dark
Through every season
I’ll still choose you
If it breaks me clean in two
Every mile
I’m still believing
All this hurt has hidden meaning
On the road I take for you
[Bridge]
[Strings swell
Drums drop to heartbeat pulse]
I don’t need an easy way
I just need your hand to stay
If all I get is one more day
I’ll spend it all
I’ll spend it all
[Chorus]
The road I take for you
I would walk it barefoot
Bleeding
Through the dark
Through every season
I’ll still choose you
If it breaks me clean in two
Every mile
I’m still believing
All this hurt has hidden meaning
On the road I take for you
On the road I take for you (yeah)
On the road I take for you
