Corners of the Night

Lyrics

[Verse 1] I came home with the day still hanging from my coat Missed calls and a bad report, more than I could hold You found me by the kitchen sink, staring at the floor Set a cup beside my hand and asked for nothing more [Pre-Chorus] You don't rush to fix the pieces You just stay until they fit [Chorus] When I feel let down, you pull me back upright Put a little color in the corners of the night I don't need a perfect answer, I just need you near You make the heavy parts feel lighter when you say, “I'm here” When I feel let down, you make me feel better Like a worn-out page can still become a letter [Verse 2] I told you all the reasons that I thought I had to hide You listened past the broken parts and never changed your mind We walked around the block at dusk, past the closed-up store You made me laugh at something small I'd forgotten to laugh for [Pre-Chorus] You don't promise there'll be no rain You remind me I can stand [Chorus] When I feel let down, you pull me back upright Put a little color in the corners of the night I don't need a perfect answer, I just need you near You make the heavy parts feel lighter when you say, “I'm here” When I feel let down, you make me feel better Like a worn-out page can still become a letter [Bridge] If tomorrow brings another door that closes in my face I'll remember how you found me and gave the silence space No grand speech, no shining promise, no pretending I don't hurt Just your hand around my shoulder, reminding me I'm worth [Final Chorus] When I feel let down, you pull me back upright Put a little color in the corners of the night I don't need a perfect answer, I just need you near You make the heavy parts feel lighter when you say, “I'm here” When I feel let down, you make me feel better And I can face the morning with you beside me, together [Outro] You don't have to fix the whole world Just stay right here When I feel let down You make it disappear
