Green Silk Promise

Lyrics

[Verse 1] You came with a full house grin I came with a cracked last name You had the keys, the room, the wine I had one coat and a waiting flame You said, "stay close, don't ask for now" Like now was a door you could spare I learned your moods by the way you breathed Learned your silence like it lived there [Pre-Chorus] You made your faults sound like charms Made my hunger sound like faith I saw your hands shake in the dark Still I kept my place [Chorus] You said maybe, maybe I heard it like a prayer You said maybe, maybe And I was already there You keep me close, keep me on ice I keep your weakness in my skin You say maybe, maybe And I still let you in [Verse 2] You got the table, the suit, the name I got the rent and the ache You walk through life like it owes you air I count the costs that you make But when your head goes hot and mean When your stomach folds on itself You call my name with a paper voice Like I'm the only one left And I come, I come With my bag and my borrowed grace I hold your fever in both hands Like it won't leave a trace [Pre-Chorus] We get sick in the same old hour We shake when you pull away What hits your chest comes for mine That's the price I pay [Chorus] You said maybe, maybe I heard it like a prayer You said maybe, maybe And I was already there You keep me close, keep me on ice I keep your weakness in my skin You say maybe, maybe And I still let you in [Bridge] You promised like a man in smoke With your eyes on the open door You never thought I'd learn your lies I knew, still wanted more If you bend, I bend If you burn, I burn My body keeps your weather Till I don't know where to turn [Final Chorus] You said maybe, maybe I heard it like a prayer You said maybe, maybe And I was already there You keep me close, keep me on ice I keep your weakness in my skin You say maybe, maybe And I still let you in Maybe, maybe Say it if you mean it Maybe, maybe Love me like you need it
