For a While (feat. Jess Williamson)

For a while, it felt like we belonged
In each other’s arms
Forever more

After the fall, I would have stayed
But we already fret our hour on the stage
Even knowing everything I know
I would still choose to love you though
Even in a room filled up with smoke
For a while, that was home

I’m the would-be writer in the bath
You’re in the bedroom hunched over an amp
You’re gonna give back everything you have
I always wanted to be like that

Because you let all those people know
They didn’t have to be alone
They could be brave, they could be wild
They could be like you for a while

Now I’m like Ulysses when night falls
One last time, I plot the course
Someone’s saying lights out in the halls
Someones in our rooms we don’t know at all

But I’ll choose to remember more
You dancing around the kitchen floor
And the look on my face, like a child
That was our home for a while
