00:16Empty glasses filled with old habits
00:24Trying to kill my thoughts
00:29Somewhere between bourbon
00:33And an old familiar version
00:37Of what it is and what it's not
00:46Some of them are still worth saving
00:53But most of them I can't
01:01Somewhere he's thinking about me
01:06Wondering how I could be
01:09Dancing with the devil
01:13For a stranger in his bed
01:16And somewhere I'm searching for him
01:20At the bottom of a bar again
01:24But the wrong side of goodbye
01:29Ain't the same
01:34Whiskey didn't save me
01:38It just learned my name
01:49Late night bar fights
01:52Too close for comfort
01:56Made me close my eyes
02:04When I know better
02:06And every day it's getting harder
02:12To run from the light
02:18Some of them are still worth saving
02:25But most of them I can't
02:33Somewhere he's thinking about me
02:38Somewhere he's thinking about me
03:01I ain't the same
03:03I ain't the same
03:07Whiskey didn't save me
03:10It just learned my name
03:14I ain't the same
03:44He left his coat on a chair and a ladder by the hall
03:52Half of the porch was still blue, half of it bare and old
03:59The roof kept dropping its tears in the bucket by the sink
04:05I signed the papers alone, then I learned what alone can mean
04:13So I climbed up slow with a borrowed drill
04:16Hands shook first, then they learned to build
04:20I said his name once, then I let it go
04:23The house kept creaking, but it started to know
04:28I fixed this house myself
04:31I fixed this house myself
04:35Not new, not clean, not perfect
04:39But it still holds me up
04:42I fixed this house myself
04:46I fixed this house myself
04:49What he left behind is mine now
04:54And I made it enough
05:03I patched the roof with my own hands and watched the rain run thin
05:10Painted that porch all over blue like a fight I could win
05:17Tightened the hinge on the back door Changed every lock by dawn
05:24Cleaned out the unpaid letters Put the shame where it belongs
05:30I learned the names of my songs I learned the names of tools like a prayer and a dare
05:34Found my balance on the rail Found my breath in the air
05:38Reaching there, sunk deep like a promise I made
05:41I wasn't waiting, I was ending the wait
05:45I fixed this house myself
05:52Not new, not clean, not perfect But it still holds me up
05:59I fixed this house myself I fixed this house myself
06:06I fixed this house myself What he left behind is mine now
06:10And I made it enough
06:28Mortgage says my name And it scared me at first
06:33Then I stood in the doorstep
06:37Then I stood in the doorway And let that feeling burn
06:40I paid the bills on time I swept this dust away
06:47Now every worn out room Knows how I stayed
06:54I fixed this house myself I fixed this house myself
07:02Not new, not new, not clean, not perfect But it still holds me up
07:09I fixed this house myself I fixed this house myself
07:15If you look close, you can see it All the proof and the pain
07:22It ain't a brand new, it ain't a brand new life But it stands in the rain
07:35I fixed this house myself And I did the same with me
07:49Mmm
07:54Mmm
08:12Set on my sleeves
08:15Old brown hat polo
08:19Boots tap-tied
08:22To the sway in the road
08:27Dust on my jeans
08:31Wind rides across my face
08:35Fence posts flicker
08:38In a blur of space
08:43Riding a horse
08:46Through the open fields
08:51Heart keeping time
08:53With a turn and wish
08:58Of the world as it spins
09:03As it spins
09:05I feel
09:10I was born
09:13I was born for the open fields
09:22Mane in my hands
09:25Left caught deep in my throat
09:30Sky so wide
09:32Feels like a mercy note
09:38Crows lift up
09:40From the bells of hay
09:45We kick on faster
09:48And we chase that day
09:54Lean and breathe deep
09:57Let the ground rush by
10:01Hear the hoofbeats drum
10:03With a wild beat
10:08I'm small
10:11I'm strong
10:13I'm finally real
10:15Just a soul
10:19And a horse
10:22In an open field
10:27Feel that nose
10:30Through the open fields
10:37Heart keeping time
10:40With a turning wheel
10:42Of the world
10:45Of the world as it spins
10:48As it spins
10:50I feel
10:55I wasn't born
10:58Now he's born
11:00For the open fields
11:24This old porch swing
11:26Still groans your name
11:28Every time the night wind blows
11:31Flickering streetlight
11:34Plays its game
11:35On the window
11:37Where we watch the snow
11:39Got your dusty flannel
11:42On the chair
11:43Smells more like memory now
11:47Than you
11:50We were almost perfect
11:53Almost right
11:55A half-drawn map
11:57Under dashboard light
11:59That almost leaves
12:01A jagged edge
12:07Hanging on a promise
12:09From a ledge
12:14And I'm still standing
12:16On the wrong side
12:20And I'm still standing
12:25I'm still standing
12:26I saw your brother down
12:28At Miller's store
12:29He asked me how I'd been
12:33I said just fine
12:35And stared at the floor
12:37Lying to him
12:38Felt like a sin
12:40He didn't ask the question
12:43In his eyes
12:45He's the one that haunts me every single night
12:49The wrong side of goodbye
12:57Yeah, we were almost home
13:04Almost
13:15We were almost home
