Acoustic guitar intro
Verse 1
She woke up in the morning
Quiet without a sound
She'd hold her heart in silence
Where my old mistakes are found
She'd watch me keep my almosts
Like counting pennies in a jar
How a quiet heart could wander quite that far
Chorus
She wouldn't accuse
She'd hold the space instead
A lovin steady patience where lonely things are met
She'd press her palms to mine and say it's not so bad
That every loose and trembling thread is patient to be had
Verse 2
She might be quietly sad for chances that I let go
Not angry just a softer ache that wants to help me grow
She'd calm with forgiveness
The places I can't reach
Teach me to open doors
And how to cross the bridge
Bridge
I stay
I stay by your side
I stay
I stay do not hide
Oh no
Oh no
Oh no
Verse 3
And if she were truly mine
She'd be gentle every time
Not counting my failures
Or judging when I fall
She'd give me back my courage in the space between her palms
A promise made of breath and simple calms
Chorus
She wouldn't accuse
She'd hold the space instead
A lovin steady patience where lonely things are met
She'd press her palms to mine and say it's not so bad
That every loose and trembling thread is patient to be had
Outro
So keep her near
Though she is only you
The darkness won't be over
That part is true
But you have stopped running
And that will do
Oh oh
Yeah
That will do
