Kept Me Alive

歌詞

You and I grew up fast in the thick of it In bad homes with the same old narratives With loud voices and prescribed medicines High, we skipped stones, yeah it felt so American You're so pretty but don't try a little bit You grew up more and healed better than I ever did Still, you left the light on for me, I won't forget Worried sick, knew I was caught in things I shouldn't have been When it's all lowlights And my mind's too quiet You're my one lifeline You kept me alive, and I mean it Put your heart on the line when I needed Somebody pulling me close Bury my head in your bones Found me and carried me home You kept me alive And that face you give me after I make you laugh Is enough for me to cry when I'm hanging by a thread When I hold onto my trauma that's irrelevant You come behind me and hold me in your arms again You're beautiful and you don't even act it, no Like the smell of rain on countryside sediment Like hollow light through the wintertime weariness I'm so sorry I dragged you through all my petulance When it's all lowlights And my mind's too quiet You're my one lifeline You kept me alive, and I mean it Put your heart on the line when I needed Somebody pulling me close Bury my head in your bones Found me and carried me home You kept me alive (You kept me alive) Somebody pulling me close Bury my head in your bones You found me, carried me home You kept me alive and I mean it Put your heart on the line when I needed Somebody pulling me close Bury my head in your bones Found me and carried me home You kept me alive
