Things That Still Glow

Title --- Things That Still Glow Lyrics --- There’s a scratch across the tabletop From a winter years ago A faded cup beside the window With a crack I somehow know There’s a jacket in the hallway That I never throw away It doesn’t fit the way it used to But it still remembers rain Maybe age is not a failure Maybe wear is how we show All the hands that kept on holding All the places we have known Old things still glow Not because they never changed But because they stayed beside us While we learned to do the same Every mark becomes a language Every silence leaves a trace Some things lose their shine And somehow gain a little grace Old things still glow When somebody knows their name There’s a game I used to play On a screen of green and gray Little heroes made of pixels Running worlds that slipped away And a six-string by the bookshelf With the finish wearing thin Every chord sounds slightly different From the first day it came in The new one may be faster The new one may be clean But nothing comes brand new With everywhere that we have been We keep replacing pieces We keep moving room to room Still an old key in a drawer Can bring a whole house into view Maybe nothing lasts forever Maybe that was never why We keep the things that held our stories Long enough to say goodbye I used to think that getting older Meant becoming less somehow Now I see the worn-out edges Are the proof of being around Old things still glow Not because they stayed the same But because they walked beside us Through the years we couldn’t name Every mark becomes a language Every silence leaves a trace Some things lose their shine And somehow gain a little grace Old things still glow And I think we do the same So leave the scratch upon the tabletop Let the old song softly play We don’t have to make it new again To carry it another day Credits --- Composed with AI: Suno AI Lyrics by: enosentra Produced by: enosentra Label: Arcadia Music Labs Copyright: enosentra
