Somewhere I Get There in Time

[Verse 1]
I gave my yes away in handfuls,
made a vow at every turn.
Then you arrived with April rain,
and all my careful years could burn.
You say my name, the whole world tilts;
I feel the life I should have known.
But every promise pulls me backward,
and I can't leave them all alone.

[Pre-Chorus]
If time could split like a second skin,
I'd choose the day you first walked in.

[Chorus]
I would live another life to be with you,
start with nothing, make the whole thing new.
I found the one too late to change the past;
I'm boxed inside the vows I made to last.
And there you go, the love I meant to keep,
just out of reach, while every promise holds me deep.

[Verse 2]
I watch you turn toward your tomorrow,
while mine is tied to what I swore.
I gave too much of me to everyone;
now I can't give you what you came here for.
If somewhere time makes other versions,
let one of them arrive on time.
I'll meet you with my hands unclaimed,
and make your almost-mine life mine.

[Chorus]
I would live another life to be with you,
start with nothing, make the whole thing new.
I found the one too late to change the past;
I'm boxed inside the vows I made to last.
And there you go, the love I meant to keep,
just out of reach, while every promise holds me deep.

[Outro]
Somewhere, I get there in time.
Somewhere, your hand finds mine.
