Up From Here

We took a space, not a break No hard feelings, it's a way
Needed room to find our names Outside the echo of a flame
We were broken, just misaligned Two hearts trying to outrun time
But growth and quiet is loud and clear Still I think we're better for being here

Maybe love's not lost, just possibly We've been walking slow, on different roads
But I still feel you in the air Like maybe we're not done, just somewhere
We can only go up from here No more unsure what we fear
If the hole's just a rise Then maybe we were always right

We've been learning, we've been still Now we're climbing our own hill
No matter where this road appears We can only go up from here
I don't need a perfect plan Just your hand if it ever lands
Back in mine with no disguise Just the truth behind your eyes

I don't blame the way we bend Some games need cracks to let light in
And maybe time apart was grace Giving love a little space
We don't owe the past regret Only lessons when they learned ya
Still got hope beneath the scars Still believe in who we are

We can only go up from here No more hiding behind the years
If we meet where hearts are clear Then maybe it's our time to mind dear
We've been searching now we see That maybe it was always we
No matter what we're pioneers We can only go up from here

So if you call another tone If you come back you're not alone
We're not lost, we're just sincere It's not goodbye, it's atmosphere
We can only go up from here No more silence, no more fear
If love's a clam you pick the tools Now we're walking in better shoes

And if we fall back into place I still know you're on your face
No matter what this next part clears We can only go up from here
