[Verse 1] I see a story in your eyes Folded up like old train maps Rain on glass and paper cuts A name you keep behind your teeth You look away, I know that face Like you just heard your own truth [Pre-Chorus] Come a little closer, baby Let me read the page All those scars got a rhythm I can hear them say [Chorus] I see a story in your eyes (I see it) Don’t have to say a word tonight (Stay with me) All that hurt, it wants to rise But you’re still here And I see why I see a story in your eyes (Your eyes) [Verse 2] You wear that hurt like borrowed clothes Too tight in the shoulders, worn at the seams Sunday dishes, slammed front door Little cracks in your old dreams But when you laugh, the room goes soft Like spring coming through the walls [Pre-Chorus] Come a little closer, baby Let me read the page All those scars got a rhythm I can hear them say [Chorus] I see a story in your eyes (I see it) Don’t have to say a word tonight (Stay with me) All that hurt, it wants to rise But you’re still here And I see why I see a story in your eyes (Your eyes) [Bridge] If you let me, I’ll stay awhile Trace the lines and learn your smile What was heavy can turn light When you don’t hide it from me [Final Chorus] I see a story in your eyes (I see it) Don’t have to say a word tonight (Stay with me) All that hurt, it wants to rise But you’re still here And I see why I see a story in your eyes (Your eyes) I see a story in your eyes (I see it)
