THING ABOUT YOU

The thing about you
Is I didn’t expect to
When we met I’d gotten good
At blacking out the view
You were lost too
Tryna let a little light
in through all the cracks
Tryna get it right
That’s the thing about you

The thing about you
You gave me back the fight
Like someone that I knew
But could barely recognize
Kicking off our boots
Alone inside this house
Where there’s nothing left to prove
Cause there’s no one else around
That’s the thing about you

The thing about you
Sitting on your porch
Barefoot on the hardwood
Weathering the storm
Digging up the garden
Rooted in the ground
How you keep it all together
Would make your mother proud
That’s the thing about you

The thing about you
In the way you wear your scars
Saw you dancing in the kitchen
Through the window from the yard
I’d hold you there forever
Wrapped up in my arms
As we grow to do it better
With the least amount of harm
That’s the thing about you
The thing about you
