Verse 1: Female

They stamped a date across a sheet

The room went quiet, clocks kept time

I hold your jacket by the door

And leave a place for you each night

They say the road has reached its end

I say they don’t know where you are

I keep your name against my heart

A steady point beneath the dark

Verse 2: Male

I waited years outside your life

Then heard the news and crossed the line

You leaned on me when hope ran thin

I took your trust and called it mine

Now every message meets a wall

I let you stand alone with doubt

Pre-Chorus: Female

I won’t mistake a hand held out
