[Verse 1] You caught my sleeve at the curb Said, "Don't leave me here alone" Your boots hit the wet black glass And the whole block felt like stone I said, "Keep your hand in mine" You laughed like you knew the plan One bad turn past that corner store And I was your only man [Pre-Chorus] Tell me if your heart's too loud Tell me if the air gets thin I'll take the long way back Just let me in [Chorus] Walk me home Don't let go Walk me home Through the cold If the shadows lean in close Hold my name like a prayer Walk me home I'm right here (I'm right here) [Verse 2] Your phone lit up in your palm Then you killed it with a thumb Past the laundromat, past the gate Where the chain-link hang loose and numb You said, "I hate this part of town" I said, "Baby, I know why" A dog barked once from a fenced-in yard And you grabbed my jacket tight [Pre-Chorus] Tell me if your pulse runs wild Tell me if the dark talks back I'll keep step with your fear And bring you back [Chorus] Walk me home Don't let go Walk me home Through the cold If the shadows lean in close Hold my name like a prayer Walk me home I'm right here (I'm right here) [Bridge] We don't need a reason now Just this block and your hand I can hear your breath in mine Like a kick drum in the sand One more light, one more fence One more turn and it's done Say the word, I'll stay awake Till the hard part's gone [Final Chorus] Walk me home Don't let go Walk me home Through the cold If the shadows lean in close Hold my name like a prayer Walk me home I'm right here (I'm right here) Walk me home Don't let go Walk me home Through the cold (through the cold)
