Velvet Years (feat. Roman)

  • May 30
  • 1 min read

I got lines in my hands

Like roads on a map

Each one earned

A little laugh, a little crack


I used to chase the wind

Now I know my name

I made some crooked turns

Still I came this way


And I can see it now

The hurt was part of me

Every fallen dream

Turned into a memory


These velvet years

They suit me fine

I wear my scars

Like saved-up light

I love what stayed

I bless what slipped away

These velvet years

Make room for me today


I let the old me go

Without a bitter sound

The river kept on moving

And I learned to move around


There’s grace in unfinished things

Beauty in the bend

I found the truth in living

Not just where I’ve been


And I can feel it now

The weight fall off my chest

What I could not change

I learned to call it blessed


These velvet years

They suit me fine

I wear my scars

Like saved-up light

I love what stayed

I bless what slipped away

These velvet years

Make room for me today


If I had to do it all again

I’d still walk through that rain

It taught me how to hold your hand

Without trying to explain


So let the seasons turn

Let the old heart beat

I’m not chasing forever

I’m right where I need to be


These velvet years

They suit me fine

I wear my scars

Like saved-up light

I love what stayed

I bless what slipped away

These velvet years

Make room for me today
