Velvet Years (feat. Roman)

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
