Fragile New Wire

The calendar turned, and the spring fell apart

May brought a quiet that deafened my heart

Space in the room where your laughter had been

Trying to figure out where I begin

But time has a way of softening the lines Between the mistakes

and the better designs

Oh, Tom, we’re walking a fragile new wire

Stoking the embers to rescue the fire

It takes what it takes,

we’re taking it slow

Learning the things that we just didn’t know

I’m holding the space,

and I’m watching you shine Hoping our paths will slowly realign

I see how you're stepping up,

leading the way

Carrying the weight of a brand new day

Proud of the man who took charge of the store

You're reaching the heights that you're destined for

And this Gemini soul,

with its shifts and its tides Is leaving the past and the

shadows behind

We shattered the glass,

but the pieces remain

We’re picking them up through the patience and pain

No rushing the dawn,

no forcing the hand Just two people trying to finally understand It’s

not about erasing the tears

that we cried

It’s about building a bridge to the other side

Oh,

Tom, we’re walking a fragile new wire

Stoking the embers to rescue the fire

It takes what it takes,

we’re taking it slow

Learning the things that we just didn’t know

I’m holding the space,

and I’m watching you shine

Hoping our paths will slowly realign

One step at a time.

One word at a time.

Brick by brick, leaving the distance behind.

Yeah, we're taking it slow.
