Don't Let the Thread Go Blind

[Verse 1]
Your coat on my chair, rain drying in the seams
We made a little country out of borrowed evenings
No promise could hold the road from splitting wide
Still, I knew your hand like a place to hide

[Pre-Chorus]
If the signs turn different ways
If the miles take what they take
Keep one small thing in view
What we were was true

[Chorus]
When our roads divide, don’t let the thread go blind
I’ll carry what you changed in me, you carry what is mine
We don’t have to stay to make it matter, make it real
Some things end and still remain in everything we feel

[Verse 2]
You taught the stubborn window how to let the morning through
I left a little courage folded in the things you do
The map is drawing borders neither heart can rearrange
But nothing makes the days we shared a thing we have to change

[Half-Time Breakdown]
Don’t call it nothing.
Don’t turn away.
We were here.
We made a way.

[Final Chorus]
When our roads divide, don’t let the thread go blind
I’ll carry what you changed in me, you carry what is mine
We don’t have to stay to make it matter, make it real
Some things end and still remain in everything we feel

[Outro]
Go on, go gently.
I’ll know you in the way I see.
