Lyrics

[Verse 1]
I am one day older than my father was
Than he ever got to be
I was ten years old when I grew up
'Cause he died at fifty-three
[Verse 2]
I stared across the great divide
At my mother who was left
The dinner table stretched oceans wide
Like the hollow in our chests
[PreChorus]
I never asked hard questions
I thought they'd cause more pain
I hadn't yet learned life's holiest lesson
That what is broken cannot heal until it's known and loved by name
[Chorus]
So tell me your story
I'll tell you mine
You don't need to worry
Everything's already alright
You be the universe
Nothing to hide
Anywhere you ever need to go
I can carry us home
[Verse 3]
I was taught to bury with the dead
The presence of my grief
I see it now, but didn't then
That silence is a thief
[PreChorus]
It made strangers out of friends
Robbed me of saving graces, offered in unlikely places
I thought I could outrun it in the end
But when a shattered heart is desperate
The only respite is to let somebody in
[Chorus]
Tell me your story
I'll tell you mine
You don't need to worry
Everything's already alright
You be the universe
Nothing to hide
Anywhere you ever need to go
I can carry us home
I can carry us home
I can carry us home
[Outro]
When I speak his name, my voice gives out
Even after all these years
But I want my son to know me now
So my son will see my tears
My son will see my tears
