[Verse 1: Female]
When the room goes quiet, I start counting cracks
A cupboard door, a winter coat, the road that brought it back
I was doing fine with both hands full of days
Then one small sound can pull me through a hundred different ways
[Verse 2: Male]
I know that look you wear when the present slips away
Your eyes are in the kitchen, but your heart has left the place
You don't have to name it, you don't have to be brave
Put your feet against the floor; I'm here, and you are safe
[Pre-Chorus: Female]
If the past comes rushing like a river through the hall
[Male]
Take my hand and breathe with me; you don't have to face it all
[Chorus: Both]
When your mind runs out of places to hide
And the old days open up inside
I'll stay until the room comes back in view
You survived what tried to bury you
If the silence turns against your heart
I'll remind you where the real things are
A glass of water, morning coming through
You survived, and I am here with you
[Verse 3: Male]
Some nights I fill the hours with the television on
Anything to keep the memories from telling me they're strong
But healing isn't winning every fight beneath your skin
It's noticing the doorway, then deciding to step in
[Verse 4: Female]
I can sit beside you while the minutes rearrange
No fixing, no pretending that the hurt has disappeared
And if tomorrow finds us tired, if the old fear calls again
We'll make a little room for hope and start from where we stand
[Pre-Chorus: Male]
If the past comes rushing like a river through the hall
[Female]
Take my hand and breathe with me; you don't have to face it all
[Chorus: Both]
When your mind runs out of places to hide
And the old days open up inside
I'll stay until the room comes back in view
You survived what tried to bury you
If the silence turns against your heart
I'll remind you where the real things are
A glass of water, morning coming through
You survived, and I am here with you
[Bridge: Female]
Name five things you can see
[Male]
The blue cup, the wooden chair
[Female]
Name four things you can feel
[Male]
Your fingers folded there
[Both]
The past can knock forever
But it doesn't own the door
We are more than what happened
We are still becoming more
[Final Chorus: Both]
When your mind runs out of places to hide
And the old days open up inside
I'll stay until the room comes back in view
You survived what tried to bury you
If the silence turns against your heart
I'll remind you where the real things are
A glass of water, morning coming through
You survived, and I am here with you
[Outro: Both]
Morning coming through
You survived
I am here with you
