[Verse 1]
You joke when you’re nervous
I stare at my phone
Two echoes at dinner
Afraid to be known
You say
“I’m a mess”
I laugh
“I am too”
We talk about weather
Not what we could lose
[Chorus]
Hope and love
Hidden in plain sight
Both of us scared of a little light
Hearts pressed up against the door
Afraid to ask for more
Hope and love
Trembling in our hands
Both of us running from our own plans
If I let you see my scars
Would you still stay
Still stay in my arms?
[Verse 2]
You count every freckle
Like reasons I’d leave
I circle my failures
Wear them on my sleeve
You touch your own shoulder
Then pull your hand back
I reach
Then I hesitate
Afraid of the lack
[Chorus]
Hope and love
Hidden in plain sight
Both of us scared of a little light
Hearts pressed up against the door
Afraid to ask for more
Hope and love
Trembling in our hands
Both of us running from our own plans
If I let you see my scars
Would you still stay
Still stay in my arms?
[Bridge]
What if your shaking
Matches mine (oh)
What if your breaking
Fits my lines
What if the thing
We’re most afraid to show
Is all we’ve ever needed
All we need to know
[Chorus]
Hope and love
Hidden in plain sight
Both of us tired of the endless fight
Let’s unlock this heavy door
Not run anymore
Hope and love
Spilling from our hands
Two broken voices making new plans
If we let them see our scars
We’ll still stay
Still stay in these arms (oh)
