Jade

[Verse 1] I found you underneath the porch light, Trying to disappear into the night. You smiled like nothing ever hurt, But I could see the weight beneath your words. You said you didn’t need somebody, You’d learned to carry everything alone. But I could stay here beside you, You don’t have to make it home alone. [Pre-Chorus] And I don’t care how long it takes, I’ll sit beside you through the ache. [Chorus] Jade, Let me be the place you don’t have to hide. When you’re tired of fighting, You can leave it all outside. Jade, I don’t need you to be someone new. If the world forgets your name, I’ll remember you. And if you lose yourself along the way, I’ll be here calling out your name. Jade. [Verse 2] We could drive until the city fades, Talk about the lives we could’ve made. You’d laugh and say we’re wasting time, I’d tell you maybe wasting time is fine. There’s something in the way you look at me, Like you’re waiting for the catch beneath the dream. But I don’t have one hidden up my sleeve, I just want you to know you can believe. [Pre-Chorus] So take your time, don’t rush away, You don’t have to be okay today. [Chorus] Jade, Let me be the place you don’t have to hide. When you’re tired of fighting, You can leave it all outside. Jade, I don’t need you to be someone new. If the world forgets your name, I’ll remember you. And if you lose yourself along the way, I’ll be here calling out your name. Jade. [Bridge] Maybe love is not a perfect thing, Maybe it’s the little things we never say. A hand to hold when the room gets cold, Someone who stays when you’re afraid. And I won’t promise you forever, ‘Cause forever’s more than I can know. But if tonight is all we have, Then tonight, I won’t let go. [Final Chorus] Jade, Let me be the place you don’t have to hide. When the whole world gets too heavy, You can lean into my side. Jade, You don’t have to become someone new. There’s nothing I could ask for More than simply you. And if tomorrow takes us somewhere far away, I’ll still remember every word you couldn’t say. Jade… [Outro] So leave the light on by the window, I’ll know where you are. You don’t have to call me, You don’t have to run. Jade… Just stay.
