lyrics

Sitting at the kitchen table
He said he’s been in love once
But it was rough
I’m not one to push and pry
I like a kind of quiet guy
Yeah that’s enough

He said “Do you think you’d hold it to me?
Come on too fast, and you’ll fall right through me
I’ve been seen ducking barbed wire
Catch me in your hand, and I turn to water

Somedays you’d think I was made of paper
Tear me a bit, and I’ll tear right through ya
Leave you in a dust trail with bleeding fingertips
If love’s a fever, then love is sick

I can’t tell living from being no more
Have I been sitting still or moving on?
God saved a man like me
I’m not sure why, and I’ll never be

Caught my reflection when I peered in
Couldn’t tell if I was looking at a good heart or sin
Wish I was on the beaten path
Only thing seeming like it lasts

And when you look at me girl
Do you feel kind?
Can’t trust the sea or a woman’s insides
Not one to take up space
I come in breathless and I leave the same”

“And you’ve got that look in your eye
Like loving me could be alright
Fixating on the touch of a hand
From a soulless lover
But a God saved man

But If I were to wake up at night
With the thought of leaving on my mind
Would you feel like you’d been had
By heartless mover
Or a God saved man?”

I said
“Just cuz it’s not good
Doesn’t mean It’s half bad
You keep looking at me like it’s all so sad
Do you feel just like the sun?
Keeping it together until night comes

I’m careful where I step
Based off practice
If I messed up my footing or how I acted
I’d be found by the waters edge
Drifting into whatever lays ahead

And its not love
But there’s something to it
If you stay here, lets keep it quiet
I’ll rest my head into my hands
And sink into where I stand”

“And you’ve got that look in your eye
Like loving me could be alright
Fixating on your distant stance
And what it means to be a God saved man

And if you were to wake up at night
With the thought of leaving on your mind
Well I’d feel like
I’d been had
By a heartless mover but a god saved man”
A man x3

Sitting at the kitchen table
He said he’d been involve once
And it was rough
