My Heart Is Everywhere Now

[Verse 1]
I left a piece in Lisbon rain
A little heat in a stranger's name
Sent one north where the long trains run
Kept one warm for my sister's son

I gave one away in a market crowd
One to a friend who said it out loud
Every goodbye took a different shape
Every new door made another break

[Pre-Chorus]
I kept trying to gather the scattered parts
With both hands pressed against my heart
But the map kept growing under my skin
And there was no way to fold it in

[Chorus]
My heart is everywhere now
A room in a hundred towns
A hand on a shoulder, a light left on
A name I carry when the person is gone
My heart is everywhere now
It won't come back in one piece somehow
I used to call that losing ground
Now I know love is how it gets around

[Verse 2]
There is a window facing the sea
That holds a version of what I could be
A kitchen where somebody saves my seat
A dusty road with my song underneath

I mailed my courage across the blue
Left my patience with someone new
I thought a heart was a house with a door
Now mine has hallways I can't count anymore

[Pre-Chorus]
I kept trying to name what remained
The missing, the mercy, the mark, the stain
But every fragment learned to beat
In places I may never see

[Chorus]
My heart is everywhere now
A room in a hundred towns
A hand on a shoulder, a light left on
A name I carry when the person is gone
My heart is everywhere now
It won't come back in one piece somehow
I used to call that losing ground
Now I know love is how it gets around

[Bridge]
So if I seem distant, I am not gone
I am in the bread, I am in the dawn
In the borrowed coat, in the old refrain
In the quiet kindness after the rain

I cannot return to the shape I knew
But I can make a home in the split-through
Let every country keep what it found
Let every small piece keep making sound

[Final Chorus]
My heart is everywhere now
A room in a hundred towns
A hand on a shoulder, a light left on
A name I carry when the person is gone
My heart is everywhere now
It won't come back in one piece somehow
I used to call that losing ground
Now I know love is how it gets around

[Outro]
Keep a piece, keep a piece
Wherever you are
Keep a piece, keep a piece
That is where my heart starts
