歌詞

I thought I was the only one

Who knew the truth of this world

I thought you were the only one

Carrying secrets no one else could hold

Prayers flash like the final train—

Its rails? I don’t know where they go

Still the radio throws me warmth again

A mystery that saves me whole

I used to mock the ones who said

“Music saved me in the end.”

Now I know they meant it true—

Forgive me, I believe it too

’Cause I’ve begun to hurt enough

To say, “Yes, music carries us.”

It feels strange, but somehow right—

And if I can’t say “I love you” now

Or whisper “please, just hold me close,”

Then take this song, take my vow:

I give you my tomorrow

They tell me, “You’re like a cat these days.”

Funny—though I wish I’d let cats fade

Still I crave a soda, sharp and dry

With a donut, with your smile nearby

There’s someone here who hides their love

Someone who fears they’re not enough

And there is me—too shy to show:

“Please accept the love I owe.”

So before the courage slips away

I’ll say what silence couldn’t say—

No tricks, no mask, just open hands:

Please, take the future where I stand

’Cause I’ve begun to hurt enough

To say, “Yes, music carries us.”

And if I fail with clumsy words

Let the melody be heard

Even if I can’t say “I love you” now

I’ll sing it through the notes I sow:

This song’s my vow, my only vow—

I give you my tomorrow
