When You Passed Through

When You Passed Through I’d been livin’ in my head, callin’ quiet peace Days just rollin’ by, not much changin’ me Had a life that looked fine from the outside in Didn’t know I was stuck, just thought that was it Then you showed up right on time Two tired hearts, same late nights Miles between us, talkin’ slow Sayin’ things we didn’t know how to hold Different places, same hard truths Same weight we were carryin’ through You moved through my life like a spark Didn’t try to slow it down Some things come on strong, then move along Leave you different than before Some fires don’t last, but they show you What you hadn’t seen before I don’t ache for how it ended It didn’t come undone I’m thankful for what you opened And who I’ve become It wasn’t a moment, it was a stretch of time Short, but heavy, sharp and alive We’d meet up, burn bright, then let it go Back to our lives like nothin’ showed We both knew how it had to work Passion without a name Some things only live in the space Between leavin’ and stayin’ You let me see myself awake In a way I hadn’t been You didn’t promise me forever You just let me in You ran wild, I tried to keep up Learned what it felt like to move You took that fire somewhere else But it stayed with me too Some things come on strong, then move along Leave you different than before Some fires don’t last, but they show you What you hadn’t seen before I don’t ache for how it ended It didn’t come undone I’m thankful for what you opened And who I’ve become You passed through And that was enough
