[Verse 1]
I'm the calm and the quiet, the silver and the slow
She's a spark in a bottle that no bottle's gonna hold
They look at us sideways, do the math on the years
But math never measured how the magic appears
[Verse 2]
Bunny ears in a store aisle, tongues out by the pool
Then black tie and a ballgown like we wrote a different rule
She sleeps on my shoulder when the road runs long
I keep the wheel steady, she keeps the song
[Pre-Chorus]
They count the years between us
We count the years ahead
They see the grey, they see the wild
We see forever instead
[Chorus]
I'm the Grey, she's the Cray
I'm the anchor, she's the wave
She's the wild in my steady, I'm the steady in her wild
And the grey learned to laugh again the day the crazy smiled
I'm the Grey, she's the Cray
And we wouldn't have it any other way
[Verse 3]
They said silver means you're fading, they said wild can't sit still
But whatever should divide us only braids us tighter still
She hands me back my mischief like she found it on the floor
And I hand her a harbor she ain't ever had before
[Verse 4]
Kissing on a red carpet like the cameras ain't there
Matching pouty faces in the same old chair
Beanies in the winter sun, sunburn in July
Every season's got a picture, every picture's her and I
[Pre-Chorus]
They count the years between us
We count the years ahead
They see the grey, they see the wild
We see forever instead
[Chorus]
I'm the Grey, she's the Cray
I'm the anchor, she's the wave
She's the wild in my steady, I'm the steady in her wild
And the grey learned to laugh again the day the crazy smiled
I'm the Grey, she's the Cray
And we wouldn't have it any other way
[Bridge]
Here's the secret, if you're asking, it ain't a secret at all
She makes the old man foolish, and I catch her when she falls
'Cause the grey's got some crazy that only she can see
And the crazy's got a stillness that she saves for only me
[Verse 5]
So take another picture, make the ugliest face you've got
Wear the gown, wear the sunburn, girl, I love the whole lot
Let the years say whatever, let the mirror disagree
The grey was made for crazy, and the crazy's made for me
[Final Chorus]
I'm the Grey, she's the Cray
I'm the anchor, she's the wave
She's the wild in my steady, I'm the steady in her wild
And the grey learned to laugh again the day the crazy smiled
I'm the Grey, she's the Cray
And we wouldn't have it any other way
[Outro]
Grey and Cray, Cray and Grey
A little wild, a little wise, a lot of running away
With each other, toward forever
Take my hand, make a face
Forever's just a longer date
The Grey and the Cray
The Grey and the Cray
The_SCAR
