Resting Hearts

That chorus hit me,

like a held breath breaking

You said it plain and it stayed

You wrote it like a note

you never meant to

send

No armor, no clever turn

I felt the room lean in

That's the truth, isn't it?

The kind that doesn't raise its voice Just sits

in your chest

You deserve a good man who won't make you cry

Not someone who loves you

only when it's easy If you let the light in,

I'll stay for the night

And hold you steady,

hold you steady (ooh)

This is one of the most honest things you've ever written

And I don't say that lightly

You put your name on the hurting

But you left a door unlatching

And the production told on you Forced entry of the acoustic—right through

the quiet

Tenor up front, no place to hide And the reverb fading like

you changed your mind (ahhhh) You deserve a good man who won't

make you cry

And if your heart looks closed,

it's just resting

That's the truth, isn't it?

I'm here when you wake it (ooh)
