[Verse 1] You don’t have to spare me the part that changes things Don’t hand me half an answer with the sharp edge tucked beneath If there’s something I can’t see yet put it where I can Love me soft when softness matters Love me honest when it can’t I will do the same As true as I can [Pre-Chorus] We don’t need the ending to begin [Chorus] As true as we can As close as we dare Bring me what you know I’ll meet you there When the ground moves when the old words don’t fit When I get you wrong say it again No saints No saviors No master plan Just love getting as true as we can [Verse 2] There’ll be days I hear you through the noise inside my head Days you reach for who I was and find who I am instead Don’t make me stay familiar just to prove that I am yours I’ll leave the light on for you You leave open what is yours And when one of us discovers we were certain, we were wrong We can change the answer without changing whose side we’re on [Chorus] As true as we can As close as we dare Bring me what you know I’ll meet you there When the ground moves when the old words don’t fit When I get you wrong say it again No saints No saviors No master plan Just love getting as true as we can [Bridge] Maybe love is not the shield Maybe love is why we set it down Long enough to hear what hurts Long enough to look around Then pick it up when something worth protecting needs us now [Lift] Not you behind me Not me behind you Side by side Tell me— What do you see? [Final Chorus] As true as we can As far as we go There’ll always be something we don’t know So bring your questions I’ll bring mine We’ll change our minds a hundred times But don’t change the truth to keep me near I’d rather meet you all the way out here No saints No saviors No master plan Just love getting as true— as true— as true as we can [Outro] And if tomorrow asks what became of us— Tell it: We’re becoming. Don’t interrupt.
