[Intro] [spoken Gentle] "I used to joke that my longest relationship Was with bad decisions" [laughs softly Audience chuckle] "But then she walked in… And Uh… this song kind of wrote itself." [Verse 1] I was last call Same bar Same story Same scars Seeing life through the bottom of a glass Late rent Burned friends Promises I’d bend Saying "I’ll change " Then driving twice as fast [Pre-Chorus] Then you pulled out a chair Sat down in my chaos Looked straight through the smoke Like you’d already met my past [Chorus] You saved me slow Not some movie scene redemption Just a hand on my arm When I shook from my addictions You loved me wrong ’til I learned what right could be Yeah I was a runaway flame And you were rain on my gasoline You saved me slow And you saved me from me [Verse 2] [spoken] "First night she came over I hid the bottles in the oven… She found ’em Obviously." [audience laughs] [sung] You didn’t preach Didn’t scream You just sat there with me Said "You can lie to you But don’t you lie to me" Took my keys Took my phone Left my pride on the floor Said "You’re not going home ’til you know what home is for" [Pre-Chorus] You drew lines in the sand While you held out your hand Said "Boy Grow into a man Or I’m gone Understand?" [Chorus] You saved me slow Not some movie scene redemption Just your head on my chest While I shook through the confession You loved me wrong ’til I learned what right could be Yeah I was a runaway flame And you were rain on my gasoline You saved me slow And you saved me from me [Bridge] [spoken Softer] "I asked her once 'Why didn’t you just leave?'" [pause] [sung Low vocal register] You said "I saw the you You were scared to be Buried under all that hurt And the broken family tree But I won’t drag you Won’t beg you I’ll just stand right here If you choose the dark again I disappear" [guitar swells lightly] [Chorus] [Chorus] [Outro] [spoken over gentle picking] "So if you see her out there Buy her a drink …sparkling water She’ll make sure I behave." [audience laughter Soft chuckle] [sung] I was a runaway flame Now I’m learning how to breathe ’Cause you saved me slow Yeah You saved me from me
