Your Tears and My Heat

[Verse 1]
You’re standing in my kitchen
Raindrops in your hair
You say you’re tired of running
I say I’m right here
You talk about your leaving
Like it’s carved in stone
I pour another coffee
Say you’re not alone
[Chorus]
Your tears and my heat
Falling, burning, at our feet
You’re shaking like a willow in a storm
I just wanna keep you warm
If your heart can take a beat
I’ll hold the hurt, you take the seat
Your tears and my heat
Might be what saves us, saves us
[Verse 2]
You trace the kitchen counter
Like a goodbye note
I see the way you’re breaking
Under every word you spoke
You say I’m hard to handle
Like summer in July
But you’re the only reason
I ever learned to try
[Chorus]
Your tears and my heat
Falling, burning, at our feet
You’re shaking like a willow in a storm
I just wanna keep you warm
If your heart can take a beat
I’ll hold the hurt, you take the seat
Your tears and my heat
Might be what saves us, saves us
[Bridge]
(Female) I’m scared you’ll fade like morning
(Male) I’m scared you’ll close that door
(Female) I’ve never trusted shelter
(Male) I’ve never wanted more
(Together) So let it rain, let it pour
We’ll be fire on this kitchen floor
[Chorus]
Your tears and my heat
Falling, burning, at our feet
You’re shaking like a willow in a storm
I just wanna keep you warm
If your heart can take a beat
I’ll hold the hurt, you take the seat
Your tears and my heat
Might be what saves us, saves us
[Outro]
Your tears and my heat
Right here, where love can meet
