Lyrics
[verse]
I was a photograph left out in the rain
Curling at the edges, fading like a stain
You found me in a drawer nobody opened twice
Held me up to daylight, said I still looked nice
[verse]
Young and a little breakable, wearing my heart loose
Chasing something golden that I thought I'd lose
You were the quiet harbor when the tide came in
I forgot how to drown once you let me swim
[chorus]
Worn thin but you kept me anyway
Folded soft into the end of the day
Some loves fade like ink in the sun
But you kept mine like the important one
Old and treasured, still the same
Some things never lose their name
[verse]
Years like pages turning, some torn clean in half
I remember porch light, your quiet laugh
Nothing bright stays burning, but some things bend and hold
And I bent toward you like a story being told
[chorus]
Worn thin but you kept me anyway
Folded soft into the end of the day
Some loves fade like ink in the sun
But you kept mine like the important one
Old and treasured, still the same
Some things never lose their name
[bridge]
And if I'm ever lost in some far-off town
Chasing ghosts that keep letting me down
I'll find my way back to that porch light glow
Where you knew me best, way back long ago
[chorus]
Worn thin but you kept me anyway
Folded soft into the end of the day
Some loves fade like ink in the sun
But you kept mine like the important one
Old and treasured, still the same
Some things never lose their name
