Our Story Sounds
There was a song before the words And it sounded like us
We kept receipts from corner stores
Names carved small on paper doors
You laughed when rain got in my shoes
I called it luck,
standing next to you
Maybe every mile we missed
Was teaching our hands how to fit
Now all the quiet parts line up
When you look at me like love
These are songs about us
Little fires we carried through dust If the world forgets our names
The melody still knows enough These are songs about us
We made a map from almost plans
Coffee cups and second chances
Your coat around my tired arms
Turned every lost street into ours
These are songs about us
Little fires we carried through dust
If the world forgets our names The melody still knows enough These
are songs about us
When we are older than the photographs
When plans turn soft
in our hands
Play me the part where we stayed
These are songs about us
Every scar and every trust
Long after
the room goes still
The chorus remembers us A song about us Still finding its way
home
