Place of Peace

[Verse 1] You know how the days can cut Little comments Paper knives I come home in crooked pieces Trying to laugh it off I lie I don't need a perfect answer I don't need the world explained Just your hoodie Couch light Quiet And your hand around my name [Chorus] I want you to be my place of peace Somewhere I can come when I can barely breathe When the world tries so hard to break me Can I fall apart with you Safely? And I'll be yours too When it caves in I'll be your soft ground Your safe skin Yeah I'll be your place of peace If you be that place for me [Verse 2] We don't have to fix the headlines We don't have to win the war We can sit here sharing takeout Shoes and armor by the door Tell me all the things you're hiding Even the ones you think are wrong I'll hold every shaking secret Till the shaking’s gone [Chorus] I want you to be my place of peace Somewhere I can come when I can barely breathe When the world tries so hard to break me Can I fall apart with you Safely? And I'll be yours too When it caves in I'll be your soft ground Your safe skin Yeah I'll be your place of peace If you be that place for me [Bridge] Let them talk Let them take What they want What they can In this small Quiet space We remember who I am Who you are Two tired hearts One little room Everything gentle starts right here With you (oh) [Chorus] I want you to be my place of peace Somewhere I can come when I can barely breathe When the world tries so hard to break me Can I fall apart with you Safely? And I'll be yours too When it caves in I'll be your soft ground Your safe skin Yeah I'll be your place of peace If you be that place for me
