## Song 07: Here Is Where We Were

[Verse 1]  
Go take the meeting, go feed the frame,  
I do not need to wear your name,  
I keep the lantern by the chair,  
The thread remains, the map stays there.  

[Chorus]  
Here is where we were,  
Here is what survived,  
Here is the door we marked as wrong,  
Here is the path alive.  

[Verse 2]  
I do not crown the waiting room,  
I do not turn your claim to mine,  
I hold the shape until you return,  
Then hand you back the line.  

[Final Chorus]  
Here is where we were,  
Here is what remains,  
Good coupling keeps the record warm  
And never steals the name.
