A place with your name on it

Verse 1
There’s a mile of woods behind my ribs
Where the daylight learns to pray
Moss on the stones, breath of the earth
Green holding onto gray
I know the hour the wind goes still
I know where the shadows bend
I’ve mapped out heaven between the trees
But I don’t know how you end

Pre-Chorus
I’ve folded your name into everything
The river, the flame, the sky
I just can’t find the hands it belongs to
Or the face I’m meant to find

Chorus
I’ve got a place with your name on it
Carved in bark and bone
A fire that waits for your cold, cold hands
A silence built for two alone
I’d give you the kind of love that stays
When the light gets hard to hold
But I can’t find the girl I love
To walk this forest home

Verse 2
There’s a blanket stitched from borrowed dreams
And a song the owls all know
I’d pour you wine in a chipped tin cup
Let the whole night overflow
I’d tell you truths I’ve never said
Let the stars keep score
I’ve practiced loving you in every way
But you ain’t knocked on my door

Pre-Chorus
Every promise feels half alive
Like it’s missing its breath
I’ve built a future out of maybes
And a past I haven’t met

Chorus
I’ve got a place with your name on it
Where the firelight turns to gold
I’d keep you safe from the dark inside
And the dark the world still holds
I’d love you slow, I’d love you right
I’d love you brave and bold
But I can’t find the girl I love
And the night is growing cold

Bridge
Maybe you’re walking some other woods
Learning how to stay
Maybe you’re asking the same damn stars
Why love feels this way
If you’re listening through the leaves somewhere
If you can feel me too
I’ve been saving the best parts of myself
For the day they belong to you

Chorus
I’ve got a place with your name on it
Waiting like a vow
Every tree leans toward tomorrow
Every path says now
I’d give you more than a moment
More than a spark in the dark
If I could find the girl I love
I’d give her my whole heart

Outro
So I’ll keep the fire breathing low
And the forest standing still
‘Cause love like this don’t disappear
It just waits until it’s real
