Come Home And Hold Me

[Verse 1]
Phone light on in a dark room
Got your voice from a world away
Tracing hearts on this bedsheet
Like your hand never left this place
Counting days on my calendar
But my heart’s counting breaths instead
You say
“Baby
I’m keeping strong”
I say
“I’m saving you space in this bed”

[Chorus]
Come home and hold me
Till the hurt turns into history
Wrap your arms all around my fears
Make forever start right here
Through every storm
Every trial we go
I’m yours
I’m yours
Let the whole world know
Come home and hold me
Love me and never let me go

[Verse 2]
I still wear that faded sweatshirt
Smells like you when the rain comes in
Talk to you through this cracked speaker
Like you’re walking back through my door again
I’m folding your side of the laundry
Talking out loud to the empty air
Saying
“One day soon
You’re walking free”
“I’ll be right there
Baby
I swear”

[Chorus]
Come home and hold me
Till the hurt turns into history
Wrap your arms all around my fears
Make forever start right here
Through every storm
Every trial we go
I’m yours
I’m yours
Let the whole world know
Come home and hold me
Love me and never let me go

[Bridge]
They can lock those gates
They can close that door
But they can’t touch what this heart beats for
I’m your safe place
I’m your soft light
I’ll be waiting at the porch every night (every night)
When the chains fall
When they call your name
I’ll be right there
I’ll be the same
We’ll turn all of this pain into plans
Your key in the lock
My hand in your hand

[Chorus]
Come home and hold me
Till the hurt turns into history
Wrap your arms all around my fears
Make forever start right here
Through every storm
Every trial we go
I’m yours
I’m yours
Let the whole world know
Come home and hold me
Love me and never let me go (never let me go)
Come home and hold me
Love me and never let me go (oh, never let me go)
