Borrowed Place

Lyrics

[Verse 1] Lee, you leave your jacket by the kitchen chair Keys in the pocket, dust from everywhere You tell me small things while the kettle starts Like how the morning found a crack in your heart [Pre-Chorus] I don't need a perfect answer I just need you close enough to hear [Chorus] Lee, stay a little longer Let the quiet lose its weight Put your tired hands in mine We can give the day a different shape Lee, if the road feels heavy You don't have to walk alone Take the long way back with me We'll make this borrowed place our home [Verse 2] Your old blue notebook opens to a page A grocery list, a number, half a name You laugh and say the ink has changed its mind I say some things get clearer over time [Pre-Chorus] No, we don't have every answer But I know what I can promise here [Chorus] Lee, stay a little longer Let the quiet lose its weight Put your tired hands in mine We can give the day a different shape Lee, if the road feels heavy You don't have to walk alone Take the long way back with me We'll make this borrowed place our home [Bridge] When the first train shakes the window And the blue turns into gold I'll be right beside you With a steady hand to hold [Final Chorus] Lee, stay a little longer Let the quiet lose its weight Put your tired hands in mine We can give the day a different shape Lee, if the road feels heavy You don't have to walk alone Take the long way back with me We'll make this borrowed place our home [Outro] Lee, take the long way back with me We'll make this borrowed place our home
