Trade Our Names for Dirt

Mud on my boots from the back lot gate Pulled you in close at a quarter to eight Your pulse was faint but it kept on time I laid my cheek on your collar line You told me soft through a cracked white grin Stay one more hour, let the cold get in Stay with me Stay with me tonight Rust on the nails, porch bulb light Stay with me We'll trade our names for dirt Laugh like thieves till it hurts Your clean-cut jaw is coming loose I still like the shape when the skin gives through Your hands fall apart in easy parts I stash the pieces in my coat and cart You said don't go when the morning hits Let the ground take us, let it keep the bits Stay with me Stay with me tonight Rust on the nails, porch bulb light Stay with me We'll trade our names for dirt Laugh like thieves till it hurts Tin can echo in the room We make a mess and call it home Nothing glows and nothing blooms Still we lean in to the fumes Stay with me Stay with me tonight Rust on the nails, porch bulb light Stay with me We'll trade our names for dirt Laugh like thieves till it hurts Stay with me Keep your shoes by the door Let that screen shake on its hinge once more Stay with me We can borrow this place Leave our fingerprints across the base (Stay with me)
