Carlos Romano, Turn the Page

[Verse 1]
You left your jacket on the kitchen chair
A little rain still darkened the sleeve
I held the door like you were coming back
Though both of us knew you had to leave

[Pre-Chorus]
I kept the receipt from the late train home
Folded in the pocket of my coat
Some goodbyes don't disappear
They learn the shape of every road

[Chorus]
Carlos Romano, hear me now
I won't let the silence take us down
From the small apartment to the open sea
There's a part of you still walking with me
Carlos Romano, turn the page
We were more than one unfinished age
If the world forgets the words we knew
I'll carry every one of them for you

[Verse 2]
Your old guitar leans beside the stairs
One broken string and a faded case
I hear your laugh in the hallway paint
I see the courage written on your face

[Pre-Chorus]
I kept the map from the summer drive
Marked the town where we changed our plans
Some roads bend but they don't erase
The promise made by two young hands

[Chorus]
Carlos Romano, hear me now
I won't let the silence take us down
From the small apartment to the open sea
There's a part of you still walking with me
Carlos Romano, turn the page
We were more than one unfinished age
If the world forgets the words we knew
I'll carry every one of them for you

[Bridge]
When the morning finds the window
When the dust begins to clear
I will say your name without breaking
I will feel you near

[Final Chorus]
Carlos Romano, hear me now
I built a little light from the falling out
From the small apartment to the open sea
Your fearless heart still moves through me
Carlos Romano, turn the page
Nothing true is ever thrown away
If the world forgets the words we knew
I'll carry every one of them for you

[Outro]
Carlos Romano
I will carry every one of them for you
