Glad I Found You

[Verse 1]
You had four days, a paper map,
A borrowed coat, a train at six.
We chased the coast through salted fields,
And missed our stop on purpose.
You drew a crooked sun for me
On the fogged-up window glass.
I knew the morning had an edge;
I let the hours pass.

[Pre-Chorus]
Every mile made leaving real,
Every laugh made it hurt more.
Still, your hand found mine at dusk
Outside that little station door.

[Chorus]
We had only a few days to love,
So we spent them without saving a thing.
You were here, and the whole wide world
Fit inside the time we were given.
Now the train pulls you away from me;
I keep the map, the ticket, the view.
I can’t make the goodbye smaller—
I can only be glad I found you.

[Verse 2]
We split one peach beside the pier,
Watched gulls steal crumbs from your sleeve.
You said, “Remember this for me,”
Like I could choose what I’d keep.
Your laugh still lives in that blue scarf,
Your name in the station’s glass.
I count the towns between us now,
And wish the rails ran back.

[Half-Time Breakdown]
If I hold on, I hold the ache.
If I let go, I lose the day.
So I’ll carry what we were:
Your warm cheek, your honest face.

[Final Chorus]
We had only a few days to love,
And we spent them without saving a thing.
You were here, and the whole wide world
Fit inside the time we were given.
When the last light slips from the coast,
I’ll still have the road we knew.
I can’t make the goodbye smaller—
I can only be glad I found you.

[Outro]
The map folds clean along the crease.
Your side of the seat stays warm in me.
