A Little While Was Enough

[Verse 1]
You met me halfway through a sentence
And somehow heard the part I hid
We traded maps of old mistakes
Then laughed at where the arrows led

[Pre-Chorus]
Not every hand is meant to hold
Until the last page turns
Some leave a mark that keeps on moving
Some teach the heart its nerve

[Chorus]
What we gave each other stays
In the way I meet the day
In the courage that I found
When your voice was near
Even if the road divides
Even if the names grow quiet
I am more than I was then
And I carry the good we made

[Verse 2]
We took the long way past the river
Argued over which bridge to cross
You made a game of missed directions
I learned that wrong turns weren’t a loss

[Pre-Chorus]
No promise has to last forever
To have been true and bright
A brief hello can change the shape
Of how we live our lives

[Chorus]
What we gave each other stays
In the way I meet the day
In the courage that I found
When your voice was near
Even if the road divides
Even if the names grow quiet
I am more than I was then
And I carry the good we made

[Bridge]
I hope you found your open window
Your laugh still easy, your feet sure
I’ll keep the part of me you woke up
Not as a debt, but as a door

[Final Chorus]
What we gave each other stays
In the way I meet the day
In the courage that I found
When your voice was near
Even if the road divides
Even if the names grow quiet
I am more than I was then
And I carry the good we made

[Outro]
A life can turn because we crossed
A little while was still enough
