V5.5

(Verse 1) Two good people, one small room Voices climbing like a storm coming soon I said a word I didn't mean to say You slammed the door and walked away (Pre-Chorus) It's not about the dishes anymore It's something older knocking at the door (Chorus) When it gets too big, too big to hold When the heat comes up before we're old enough to know Give me twenty minutes, let the fire go down I'll come back and find you, I'm not leaving this town (Verse 2) My heart was racing, hundred beats or more I couldn't hear you, couldn't reach the floor Not because I stopped caring who you are Just my body screaming louder than my heart (Pre-Chorus) It's not about who's wrong, who's right It's about finding our way back to the light (Chorus) When it gets too big, too big to hold When the heat comes up before we're old enough to know Give me twenty minutes, let the fire go down I'll come back and find you, I'm not leaving this town (Bridge) Stepping away isn't giving up It's the only way we ever fill the cup So breathe with me, come back to me This is how we learn to finally be free (Final Chorus) When it gets too big, we won't run for good We'll step away the way we always should Twenty minutes, then we start again This is how two people learn to mend (Closing Tag — spoken or sung softly, outro) And most important — remember, you are extraordinary.
