[Intro]
[Verse]
The moon is heavy It pulls at my chest
I pack my A bag Like I’m packing my last breath
I trace the faces I might not see
The love in their eyes It anchors me
[Pre-Chrous]
The clock keeps ticking It won’t slow down
[Chorus]
If I don’t come back Remember me whole
Not as a shadow But a burning soul
Carry my laugh Hold it tight
I’ll be the whisper In your night
[Verse 2]
The walls are quiet They know what’s near
I fight the tears But they’re winning here
Your hand Slips out of mine
We look at each other Knowing its time
[Pre Chrous]
The clock keeps ticking It won’t slow down
[Chorus]
If I don’t come back Remember me whole
Not as a shadow But a burning soul
Carry my laugh Hold it tight
I’ll be the whisper In your night
[Fiddle solo, gentle guitar]
[Verse 3]
I’m not a hero I’m just a name
A thread in a flag A spark in a flame
But I’ll keep my promise To the moon in the sky
For every goodbye There’s a reason why
[Pre Chrous]
The clock keeps ticking It won’t slow down
[Chorus]
If I don’t come back Remember me whole
Not as a shadow But a burning soul
[Outro]
Carry my laugh Hold it tight
I’ll be the whisper In your night
