Tender Currents

You

said, “Come over, I’ve been having a day” I picked up something

for us on the way You opened up the door,

didn’t say too much Just stepped into my arms,

and I felt you loosen

up

Left the food on the counter,

let you tell me what happened You were halfway through the story

when you started laughing Said,

“Look at me,

making such a fuss” I said,

“You don’t have to make it smaller around us” I like knowing

which song makes you turn it up How you reach across the

table when I’ve said enough We can spend a whole evening with

nothing to do I used to need somewhere to go; now I

wanna stay with you

And I’m learning that love’s in the things we repeat Making room

in my plans, leaving room for your peace When I picture tomorrow,

you’re somewhere in the frame And the ordinary things don’t feel ordinary

again Right here with you

I can let my guard down Let the record turn Let the

world slow down

(haa...

hmm...) Pull me a little closer

We’ve got nothing to prove

If you ask where I wanna be

Right here with you

With you… Right here with you

You know I go quiet when there’s too much on my mind

You don’t take it personal,

just give me a little time Then you sit down beside me,

put your hand on my knee Say,

“You can start anywhere,” and let me find what I mean I’m

still getting used to being understood

Without having to explain why I don’t feel good You don’t try

to fix every little thing I say

Sometimes you just listen,

and it changes my day I wanna give you that same kind

of room Be somebody

you can breathe around too

Keep the little promises,

call when I say Still make you feel wanted on an uneventful

day

We’ll disagree sometimes; I know how life goes But I wanna hear

you out before I think about my own Got a lot left

to learn, got some growing to do And I like the person

I’m becoming with you Right here with you

I can let my guard down Let the record turn Let the

world slow down

(haa...

hmm...) Pull me a little closer

We’ve got nothing to prove

If you ask where I wanna be

Right here with you

With you…

Right here with you Leave your phone on the table Let that

last song play

Rest your head on my shoulder

We can end the day

this way

Right here with you

I can let my guard down Let the record turn Let the

world slow down

(haa...

hmm...) Pull me a little closer We’ve got nothing to prove If

you ask where I wanna be

Right here with you

With you…

Right here with you

Nowhere else tonight

Let that last song play

Right here with you

I wanna stay
