[Verse 1]
I saved that page for you
Creased up in my glovebox
Ink still worn thin
From all those late-night thoughts
I read it like a dare
With my hands on the wheel
Every line got heavier
Every line felt real
[Pre-Chorus]
Then you took it slow
Like you knew what it meant
My name in your mouth
Sent a shiver through my chest
[Chorus]
When she sings every word I wrote
The room gets soft and small
The truth slips from my lips
And tears begin to fall
When she sings every word I wrote
I lose my steady ground
You turn my old words into gold
And pull my guard down
[Verse 2]
You smiled at the parts
I was scared to admit
The scar on my pride
The ache I tried to quit
Your voice hit that last line
Like a hand on my face
And all that I hid
Just ran out of its place
[Pre-Chorus]
Then you took it slow
Like you knew what it meant
My name in your mouth
Sent a shiver through my chest
[Chorus]
When she sings every word I wrote
The room gets soft and small
The truth slips from my lips
And tears begin to fall
When she sings every word I wrote
I lose my steady ground
You turn my old words into gold
And pull my guard down
[Bridge]
I thought I wrote it for release
Just to set it free
But you made every broken line
Sound like it was made for me
Now I don't need to hide
What I was trying to say
'Cause when you sing it back to me
You say it better anyway
[Final Chorus]
When she sings every word I wrote
The room gets soft and small
The truth slips from my lips
And tears begin to fall
When she sings every word I wrote
I feel my heart come home
You turn my old words into gold
And make them your own
