[Куплет 1] You were twenty with a bus pass folded in your sleeve, I had two coins and a plan i couldn't make believe. We split a paper cup of coffee by the laundromat, You said, “someday, we’ll laugh at all the weight we had.” I left for work before the sunrise hit the block, You drew a little heart beside the number on the clock. We loved like every door was finally coming loose, Then life kept asking which of us would make the move. [Алдынғы қайырма] Years went by in separate rooms, Different names on different mail. Still, when i hear that old train braking, I can feel the whole night turn. [Қайырма] We were young enough to call it freedom, Brave enough to call it love. We let go, but we never lost the reason We kept reaching for the world beyond us. Now i’m older, and i know what leaving costs, Still your name comes back like a road i crossed. If i could meet you where the years began, I’d say, “you made me more than who i am.” [Куплет 2] I found your note inside a coat i almost gave away, Ink gone soft where rain had found it on that winter day. You wrote, “don’t wait for life to grant you permission,” I took that line and built a stubborn little mission. I crossed three states, learned how to sleep on trains, Saw the ocean under storm clouds, said your name. I never called it fate, just a promise i held tight: Somewhere, you were choosing your own life. [Алдынғы қайырма] Years went by in separate rooms, Different names on different mail. Still, when i hear that old train braking, I can feel the whole night turn. [Қайырма] We were young enough to call it freedom, Brave enough to call it love. We let go, but we never lost the reason We kept reaching for the world beyond us. Now i’m older, and i know what leaving costs, Still your name comes back like a road i crossed. If i could meet you where the years began, I’d say, “you made me more than who i am.” [Көпір] Last spring, i saw you outside the station, Silver in your hair, that same half-smile. We talked about the weather, then our children, And the years that took the long way round. You touched my arm and said, “you made it.” I said, “so did you,” and meant every sound. Some loves don’t ask to start again; They teach your heart how to get out. [Final chorus] We were young enough to call it freedom, Brave enough to call it love. We let go, but we never lost the reason We kept reaching for the world beyond us. Now i’m older, and i know what leaving costs, Still your name comes back like a road i crossed. If i could meet you where the years began, I’d say, “you made me more than who i am.” [Аутро] You made me more than who i am. And i hope you know i did the same.
