She's crying again You lay quiet on her chest She knows you're a dangerous comfort But you haven't broken her heart yet She wants to feel safe again
I turn the lights on in the hallway Walk down the stairs without a bit of grace The TVs on and the weather man says It's just another sunny day Open
If I could buy this town I'd keep it small and rough Full of third shift dreamers And high school love I'd keep the Church of Christ And the bowling

Don't tell her that I drink tea and not coffee I'd prefer if you didn't talk at all about me Even in a brief casual chat Don't tell her how I loved your
Well, I know your life has been hard I see it in your eyes and I feel it in your heart When your eyes move down to the floor And your mouth changes shape
The number to the house is on the door but every time you open it, it's as if you are not sure if you even live here anymore, anymore well i know what
