[Verse 1]
Jemmy, you hold the pieces
When the world leans hard
You keep my hands from shaking
You keep my chest from scarred
Your coat by the doorway
Your keys in the bowl
One look from you
And I remember whole
[Pre-Chorus]
When the floor gives way
You stay
When my words all break
You say
Take your time
I’ll wait
Jemmy, you make a safe place
[Chorus]
Jemmy, you hold the pieces
You hold the pieces
When the world is not quite right
(you hold the pieces)
Jemmy, you hold the pieces
You hold the pieces
And I can breathe tonight
(hold the pieces)
[Verse 2]
Rain on the windowpane
Shoes by the mat
You warm up the kettle
Like you know where I’m at
I come in all scattered
You don’t ask me why
You just pull me closer
Till the sharp edges slide
[Pre-Chorus]
When the floor gives way
You stay
When my words all break
You say
Take your time
I’ll wait
Jemmy, you make a safe place
[Chorus]
Jemmy, you hold the pieces
You hold the pieces
When the world is not quite right
(you hold the pieces)
Jemmy, you hold the pieces
You hold the pieces
And I can breathe tonight
(hold the pieces)
[Bridge]
If I fall apart in the open
You don’t look away
You gather the quiet and broken
And you mend the day
One small touch
One slow breath
You teach my heart
How to reset
[Final Chorus]
Jemmy, you hold the pieces
You hold the pieces
When the world is not quite right
(you hold the pieces)
Jemmy, you hold the pieces
You hold the pieces
And I can breathe tonight
(hold the pieces)
Jemmy, you hold the pieces
You hold the pieces
Yeah, you bring me back to light
(you hold the pieces)
