What Love Is

[Verse 1]
You were counting tips in a dusty jar
I was patching holes in a rusted car
Both of us tired
Both of us thin
Still saying
“I’m with you
” through a crooked grin
[Chorus]
That’s what love is
Standing in the rain
Holding to a promise when it feels like pain
When the road bends wild and the lights go dim
I’ll trust your hand
You’ll trust mine again
That’s what love is
That’s what love is
[Verse 2]
You keep every note in a coffee can
I keep every doubt in the back of my hand
But when the worry starts talking too loud
You look in my eyes and it drowns out the sound (oh)
[Chorus]
That’s what love is
Standing in the rain
Holding to a promise when it feels like pain
When the road bends wild and the lights go dim
I’ll trust your hand
You’ll trust mine again
That’s what love is
That’s what love is
[Bridge]
When it’d be easy just to walk
We stay and fight
We stay and talk
Lean on me when you lose your sight
I’ll lean on you till we both feel right (hey)
[Chorus]
That’s what love is
Standing in the rain
Holding to a promise when it feels like pain
When the road bends wild and the lights go dim
I’ll trust your hand
You’ll trust mine again
That’s what love is
That’s what love is
That’s what love is
You and me in this
