Same Soul, Older Bones

Verse

A little older now, but I still move like I meant it

Same small fire in my chest, just a little more tested

I have learned how to bend without letting it break me

How to carry other people when the world feels weighty

Pre-chorus

If I fall, I rise slow, with my hands still open

If I lose my way, I follow the hope I’m holding

Chorus

Growing old, but I keep the same soul

Still trying to save somebody when the nights get cold

My own heart sings in a worn-out tone

But it keeps leading me home

Growing old, but I keep the same flame

Different face in the mirror, still I answer the same name

If my voice shakes, let it shake and stay

I was born to light the dark in my own way

Verse

I have seen the cracks in the ones I tried to reach

So I learned to listen first, and I learned to speak less

Every scar is a lesson that I wear with grace

Every goodbye left a map on my face

Bridge

And if the years take my speed away

They can’t take the mercy I made

I’ll keep the tune that my bones know by heart

A lonely little star, still bright in the dark

Chorus

Growing old, but I keep the same soul

Still trying to save somebody when the nights get cold

My own heart sings in a worn-out tone

But it keeps leading me home

Growing old, but I keep the same flame

Different face in the mirror, still I answer the same name

If my voice shakes, let it shake and stay

I was born to light the dark in my own way

Outro

Older, not empty

Tired, not done

Still carrying love like a song

Still carrying on
