lyrics

When your voice is shot
And the guns out of bullets
And you wave the white flag
Cuz of the way that it hurts
And there’s too much love here
To let it all burn
We’ve gone through too much healing
To not try to make this work

When we’re home but you’re gone
And I can’t find the things to say
I would do...anything that you want
Just to make this feel ok
And I turn into a monster
When I’m not feeling safe
For someone used to running away
You give me reasons to stay

We stowed all our fears
In our carry on luggage
As the plane took off
We felt an extraordinary rush/We felt the rush
In the middle of the shaking
And what’s been unpacking
We’ve found too much trust
To not try to make this work

When we’re home but you’re gone
And I can’t find the things to say
I would do...anything that you want
Just to make this feel ok
And I turn into a monster
When I’m not feeling safe
For someone used to running away
You give me reasons to stay

It’s the way that you touch me
And your kisses that give me shivers
It’s the way that you tell me
I’m the one that could be forever
It’s way that you lie there
Naked in the garden
And it’s when you’re feeling shy and
Hoping that no more will happen
It’s the way that you know me
Even better than friends and family
It’s the way that you hold me
And the night doesn’t seem as daunting

When we’re home but you’re gone
And I can’t find the things to say
I would do...anything that you want
Just to make this feel ok
And I turn into a monster
When I’m not feeling safe
For someone used to running away
You give me reasons to stay
