[Verse 1]
It's a form of gratitude
That when my thoughts turn to you
A pen can feel so heavy
With ink enough for a violent flood
Breaching the levee
I still couldn't lay a glove on what I feel for you
As the rain pours down
[Verse 2]
And it's so like you
To show up here right when I least expect you to
I started driving not knowing where I was gonna go
And you appear, hair blowing outside the window
Saying, "I know a place we could go"
[Pre-Chorus]
Little light, please shine forever
I call you out so that I'll always remember
Take me with you wherever it is you wanna go
[Chorus]
In my weaker moments
I still find you there
Offering a way out, a way out of here
Out of sight, out of mind
We could be outside of time
If you just give me the sign
I won't leave you behind
[Verse 3]
We pull up at the old waterfalls
Where we watched the water form a wall
Outside the caves of Bearsden
Your eyes would light up whenever you spoke of them
I went out looking to try and find
A memory of you that stays kind
I know a place we could go
[Pre-Chorus]
Little light, please shine forever
I call you out so that I'll always remember
Take me with you wherever it is you wanna go
[Chorus]
In my weaker moments
I still find you there
Offering a way out, a way out of here
Out of sight, out of mind
We could be outside of time
If you'd just give me the sign
I won't leave you behind
In my weaker moments
I still find you there
Offering a way out, a way out of here
Out of sight, out of mind
We could be outside of time
If you'd just give me the sign
I won't leave you behind
[Outro]
It's a form of gratitude
That when my thoughts turn to you
A pen can feel so heavy
With ink enough for a violent flood
Breaching the levee

I wrote this after I read a book called Catalog of Unabashed Gratitude by Ross Gay, which was really transformative for me. He would look at the difficult moments of his life with gratitude, and I found it really powerful and empowering, and I carried that through the whole process of...
