Honey and Copper

Verse 1

Sunday

Polished shoes on the porch

Wet grass smells like copper and mint

I watch

I wait

Mama's humming in the kitchen

Low heat

High hopes

The radio is buzzing like a trapped fly

Chorus

Give me something real to hold

Something real to hold

Honey in the hive

Silver in the soul

Give me something real to hold

Post-Chorus

Oh oh oh

Real to hold

Oh oh oh

Verse 2

Rusted gate

Swinging on a prayer and a loose bolt

Heavy rain

Coming down hard on the velvet upholstery

Dry land

Thirsty land

Broken land

I’m just a man with a steady hand

Losing grip

Slow slide

Finding water where the creek used to hide

Chorus

Give me something real to hold

Something real to hold

Honey in the hive

Silver in the soul

Give me something real to hold

Post-Chorus

Oh oh oh

Real to hold

Oh oh oh

Bridge

Maybe it’s the way you move

Maybe it’s the way you stay

Maybe it’s the way you look at me

I’m grounded

I’m found

I’m finally home

Chorus

Give me something real to hold

Something real to hold

Honey in the hive

Silver in the soul

Give me something real to hold

Outro

Real to hold

Real to hold

Just a little bit of sugar

Just a little bit of soul

Keep it steady

Keep it real
