Anchor at the Bottom

Half-lit bar/Daylight leaking through the blinds/You said you’d only stay an hour/I said I’d only have one pint/Your fingers traced my old tattoo/Like you were reading someone else’s life/We laughed too loud at nothin/Just to keep from asking why

You’re my anchor at the bottom/Of a glass I can’t put down/We drift together, run from problems/Sink a little faster in this town/If it hurts a bit, we pour another/Call it comfort, call it love/You’re my anchor at the bottom/And I can’t swim back up

Jukebox stuck/On some broken-heart cliché/You roll your eyes then hum along/Say “Guess they wrote that one ’bout me”/Your lipstick on my whiskey/Turns the rim a shade of doubt/I taste every old decision/Every door that never worked out

You’re my anchor at the bottom/Of a glass I can’t put down/We drift together, run from problems/Sink a little faster in this town/If it hurts a bit, we pour another/Call it comfort, call it love/You’re my anchor at the bottom/And I can’t swim back up

You ask “Do you ever feel at home?”/I say “Only when I feel alone”/You laugh then your eyes go quiet/Like you’re somewhere I can’t follow (mm)/Maybe we just trade our empty spaces/For a night that almost feels enough/You heal me just enough to break me/I break you just enough to trust

You’re my anchor at the bottom/Of a glass I can’t put down/We drift together, run from problems/Sink a little faster in this town/If it hurts a bit, we pour another/Call it comfort, call it love/You’re my anchor at the bottom/And I can’t swim back up
