Silver Linings

I wasn’t looking for anything

I was just killing time

Trying not to think too much

Trying to stay in line

The city felt like background noise

My head was somewhere else

Every road kept circling back

To what I couldn’t help

I didn’t ask for signs or truth

Didn’t look for grace

I was just learning how to stand

In an unfamiliar place

They say there’s silver linings

Hanging in the rain

I never really bought the line

Till I saw one pass me by

I don’t call it fate or healing

I don’t call it new

Just a crack in all the grey

Where the light slipped through

You stood there like you belonged

To a better day than mine

Talking ‘bout the weather

Like you had all the time

Nothing you were saying

Was meant to pull me in

But for a second I forgot

Where I had been

You didn’t ask about my past

Didn’t read my face

You just stood there like the moment

Didn’t need to be replaced

Sing it!

They say there’s silver linings

After every fall

I thought that was just something

People said to soften loss

I don’t say you saved me

I don’t say I’m new

Just the world felt less heavy

Standing next to you

I’m not ready for forever

I’m still carrying what’s gone

But something in the quiet

Said maybe I could go on

Sing it with me!

(Crowd Only)

Yeah, there’s silver linings

You don’t see at first

They don’t fix what’s broken

They just say it’s not the worst

I don’t know where this is going

I don’t need the truth

Just a little less of yesterday

And a little more of you
