[Verse 1]
You were sitting on the kitchen floor
Coffee cold
Your hands still shake
Saying
"Maybe I'm just too much work"
Like your heart was some old mistake
I could see the storms behind your eyes
All the names they carved in you
You keep waiting on the next goodbye
Like it's all you're allowed to do
[Pre-Chorus]
But I have seen you laughing
When you forget the script they wrote
And in that flash of honest
I swear I’d give my every oath
[Chorus]
Come hell or high water
I’m staying right here
If the sky splits open
I’ll hold what you fear
When the waves keep coming
Till you disappear
Come hell or high water
I’m not letting you
Not letting you go
My dear
[Verse 2]
You keep tracing every broken line
On the map of who you’ve been
Talk like you’re a house that’s burned
Down to ashes in the wind
But I still smell summer on your skin
Hear the kid you used to be
Running barefoot through the sprinkler spray
Before they told you who to be
[Pre-Chorus]
So let them keep their verdicts
Let them talk like they know you
I’ll be here in the quiet
Learning every shade of truth
[Chorus]
Come hell or high water
I’m staying right here
If the sky splits open
I’ll hold what you fear
When the waves keep coming
Till you disappear
Come hell or high water
I’m not letting you
Not letting you go
My dear
[Bridge]
If the ground gives way (oh)
I’ll be your steady
If you lose your voice
I’ll shout till they hear you
If you fall apart
I’ll fall there already
So you never land alone
Never land alone
[Chorus]
Come hell or high water
I’m staying right here
If the sky splits open
I’ll hold what you fear
When the waves keep coming
Till you disappear
Come hell or high water
I’m not letting you
Not letting you go
My dear
Come hell or high water
I’m not letting you
Not letting you go
My dear
