What We Gave Each Other

[Intro]
What are we keeping?
What are we leaving?

[Verse 1]
I used to mark the days by what I’d won,
A name to chase, a place I’d call enough.
Then Sunday came and all the lists were done;
I still had questions folded in my cuff.

[Pre-Chorus]
Maybe the answer moves when I get near,
Maybe the wanting is what brought me here.

[Chorus]
Is it the feeling, finally fulfilled,
Or every road I took to find it?
The almosts, the turns, the stories we build—
Maybe the journey’s where we find it.
And when this life is only memory,
What we gave each other travels on.

[Verse 2]
Your laugh stayed with me after you went home,
A little proof that moments don’t stay small.
We leave a part of us in those we know;
They carry it without a map at all.

[Bridge]
If I never reach the perfect view,
I’ve known the miles, and I’ve known you.

[Final Chorus]
Is it the feeling, finally fulfilled,
Or every road I took to find it?
The almosts, the turns, the stories we build—
Maybe the journey’s where we find it.
And when this life is only memory,
What we gave each other travels on.

[Outro]
What are we keeping?
What are we leaving?
