A Thousand Lives

[Verse 1]
A thousand doors could open wide
A thousand roads could turn out right
I used to count the lives I’d miss
Now I count the hands I get to kiss

[Pre-Chorus]
Every almost, every near
Made this moment more than clear

[Chorus]
A thousand lives, just one heart
So let it love with all its parts
A thousand ways the days could shine
I only get this life as mine
A thousand lives, just one heart
And every love leaves its own mark
No need to grieve the roads I’ll never know
Look how much one heart can hold

[Verse 2]
There’s a Sunday laugh I still can hear
A friend who stayed through one hard year
A kitchen crowded, coats piled high
Small bright reasons passing by

[Pre-Chorus]
All the selves I might have been
Live in every love I’m in

[Chorus]
A thousand lives, just one heart
So let it love with all its parts
A thousand ways the days could shine
I only get this life as mine
A thousand lives, just one heart
And every love leaves its own mark
No need to grieve the roads I’ll never know
Look how much one heart can hold

[Bridge]
Maybe somewhere I chose the sea
Maybe somewhere I learned to fly
Here, you’re sitting close to me
That’s a whole world passing by

[Final Chorus]
A thousand lives, just one heart
So let it love with all its parts
A thousand ways the days could shine
I only get this life as mine
A thousand lives, just one heart
And every love leaves its own mark
No need to grieve the roads I’ll never know
Look how much one heart can hold

[Outro]
One heart, one life, and room to grow
Look how much one heart can hold
