We Found Our Way Back

Intro

oh-oh, yeah

(come home)

Verse

We traded our names for empty streets,

Packed up the pictures, left the keys.

You took the highway, I took the train,

Both of us chasing different kind of pain.

Coffee gone cold on an apartment floor,

Two different clocks, two different doors.

I learned your laugh like a faded song,

But I kept humming even when the radio was wrong.

Pre-chorus

Late night calls that never said enough (never said enough),

Stuck in my throat like a closed-up cuff (closed-up cuff).

I walked past your corner, said your name, then walked away (yeah),

But something in the quiet learned to stay.

Chorus

We found our way back, we found our way back (oh)

We found our way back, we found our way back (oh-oh)

From different miles to the same front step, yeah

We found our way back, we found our way back (we found it)

We found our way back, we found our way back (yeah)

Verse

You left a note in the pocket of my old coat,

Said "If you ever listen, follow the light you wrote."

I followed small signs — a song on the radio, a laugh in the rain,

A barstool confession, a street named change.

We learned how to bend without breaking bone,

How to say sorry in a single tone.

I called your mother just to hear you breathe,

She said "Kid, if it’s meant to be, it finds a way to weave." (it weaves)

Pre-chorus

Mistakes sat heavy like winter coats (winter coats),

But so did the promises we kept on notes (kept on notes).

I held the map where every wrong turn led to you (to you),

Turned the page, and the compass pulled through.

Chorus

We found our way back, we found our way back (oh)

We found our way back, we found our way back (na-na)

From different maps to the same doorway, hey

We found our way back, we found our way back (we found it)

We found our way back, we found our way back (yeah)

Bridge

There was a week of silence, a month of maybe,

You kept your distance like a handshake, shaky.

But I kept practicing the small brave things —

Calling you stupid at midnight, leaving voicemails that sting.

You met me on the corner where the old elm bends,

You laughed and said, "We did a lot of living for the end."

We held the past like a fragile glass, then set it down (set it down),

Found new ways to love the scars that used to frown.

Chorus

We found our way back, we found our way back (oh-oh)

We found our way back, we found our way back (oh)

From separate rooms to the same sunrise, yeah

We found our way back, we found our way back (we found it)

We found our way back, we found our way back (yeah, yeah)

Outro

We found our way back (we found it), we found our way back (oh)

We found our way back (come home), we found our way back (yeah)

(ta-ta-touch, ta-ta-touch)
