[Verse 1] Coffee’s gone cold on the table Your playlist still stuck on that song My boots by the door like they’re waiting For trouble to drag me along You trace the burn scars on my knuckles Ask if I’m leaving again I say “they might need me tomorrow” You ask “So what do I get then?” [Chorus] You get me here today Before the sirens call my name Before the sky turns that warning gray I’m yours I’m yours I’ll stay If tomorrow steals me away If I run toward someone else’s flames Let the world have my borrowed strength But my heart My heart’s your claim You get me here today [Verse 2] I’m still learning soft from disaster How to hold you and not hold my breath I’m used to sprinting toward danger Not walking slow Side by side Step by step You light the candles in the kitchen Say “Heroes still need to eat” You slide your hand into my fingers My armor falls at your feet (mmm) [Chorus] You get me here today Before the sirens call my name Before the sky turns that warning gray I’m yours I’m yours I’ll stay If tomorrow steals me away If I run toward someone else’s flames Let the world have my borrowed strength But my heart My heart’s your claim You get me here today [Bridge] I’ve missed too many firsts and mids and middles Chased every headline Burned through every bridge But this ring on your hand is a promise Not a prison Not a script If the city cries I’ll answer You deserve more than an empty frame So I carve out hours from the chaos Write your name into my days (oh, your name) [Chorus] You get me here today Before the sirens call my name Before the sky turns that warning gray I’m yours I’m yours I’ll stay If tomorrow steals me away If I run toward someone else’s flames Let the world have my borrowed strength But my heart My heart’s your claim You get me here today [Outro] Turn the lock Kill the light Let them wait Just one night If the world still needs a saving hand It can wait while I learn how to be your man
