Heart Passport

[Verse 1]
I learned your names in different seasons
One by the harbor, one in snow
A voice from miles away at midnight
A hand I didn't want to let go
I called it giving, called it open
A little heat for every cold
Then every promise found a doorway
And every doorway led to home

[Pre-Chorus]
Now every map is folded wrong
Every goodbye takes too long

[Chorus]
I gave my heart a passport
Now it can't find its way
So many hands are holding on
I don't know what to say
I wanted everyone to feel
The warmth I had to give
Now tell me how to choose one road
And let the others live

[Verse 2]
There's your blue cup by the window
There's your coat beside the stairs
There's a postcard from the island
And your laugh still in the air
I can see the hurt approaching
Like a train I can't outrun
I was sure that love was plenty
Till the choosing had begun

[Pre-Chorus]
Now every map is folded wrong
Every goodbye takes too long

[Chorus]
I gave my heart a passport
Now it can't find its way
So many hands are holding on
I don't know what to say
I wanted everyone to feel
The warmth I had to give
Now tell me how to choose one road
And let the others live

[Bridge]
If I stay, I make a promise
If I leave, I leave a scar
I can't call it kindness now
To keep you where you are
Let the truth arrive without disguise
Let me face your eyes

[Final Chorus]
I gave my heart a passport
Now it can't find its way
So many hands are holding on
I owe them more than say
I wanted everyone to feel
The warmth I had to give
I'll tell the truth, though it may break
The shape we thought we'd live

[Outro]
One road, one answer
No easy way through
I can't keep everybody
By keeping back the truth
