Prompt / Lyrics
[Verse 1] Peanut My little open book Crayon suns on the kitchen wall You ask me why my hands shake When the night feels too tall I trip on all the words I need When I try to talk about time So I’m folding up my heart tonight Into these crooked lines [Pre-Chorus] If one day you reach for me And my hand’s not by your side Read this when the dark feels deep Hear me on the other side [Chorus] May fear vanish at your stride My girl Like waves breaking at your feet Then gone You were never meant to walk this world Thinking you are on your own Every step you take I’m there inside May fear vanish at your stride [Verse 2] Peanut You chase the sparrows Across that tired old yard Laughing like the whole blue sky Was hiding in your heart You ask me “Will you stay forever?” I kiss your hair and dodge the truth But forever’s in your stubborn grin And the way you speak the truth [Pre-Chorus] If the day comes I can’t answer When you call me late at night Let this little paper anchor Hold you steady through the tide [Chorus] May fear vanish at your stride My girl Like waves breaking at your feet Then gone You were never meant to walk this world Thinking you are on your own Every step you take I’m there inside May fear vanish at your stride [Bridge] When the doctors speak in low words When the house feels too still Remember how you stole my breath The first time that you cried “I will” I will be brave I will be kind I will stand up when I fall (when I fall) Take my courage Make it yours Hang it like a coat in your hall [Chorus] May fear vanish at your stride My girl Like waves breaking at your feet Then gone You were never meant to walk this world Thinking you are on your own Every step you take I’m there inside May fear vanish at your stride [Outro] So Peanut When you read this On some far and quiet night Know the love that wrote these pages Walks beside you in the light (oh) May fear vanish at your stride
