[Crowd Noise] (five seconds — crowd settles) [Spoken Intro — Male Vocal — Jhöl] (easy, warm, a little mischievous) Something you should know about me...... I'm a lover. (pause) The very first pretty girl I ever saw in my life...... I told her I loved her. (crowd laughs) I did! (pause) You would have too. (pause) Man...... those curls. (laughter settles) But before that bus stop...... there was my Sis. (quiet now) She really did teach me how to love. (pause) I love her still. [Slow Tempo] [Live Performance] [Verse 1] You walked me home when school let out Through all the rain and grey Nobody asked you to be there You just kept showing up that way [Verse 2] We found a leaf pile in the yard You pointed, said go on You let me hit the ground before you And laughed until the cold was gone [Verse 3] And dad came in with all that noise The sky went grey somehow I don't know what changed in that leaf pile But I can feel it now [Chorus — Male Lead Vocal — Female Harmony Vocal — Wren and Calla] In every picture that I find of us You've got hold of my hand All I feel now is that missing hand More than I'll understand You were the first safe place I ever had Before I knew I'd need somewhere to land [Verse 4] You baked me cookies when I was twelve They tasted like a good mistake You set them down beside the cold milk And stayed there for my own sake [Verse 5] You didn't try to fix a thing You didn't try to fill the room You just sat there in the quiet with me And let the morning come too soon [Verse 6] You never knew you were a safe place Before I knew I needed one You held a scared kid's hand through all of it Like love was something quietly done [Chorus — Male Lead Vocal — Female Harmony Vocal — Wren and Calla] In every picture that I find of us You've got hold of my hand All I feel now is that missing hand More than I'll understand You were the first safe place I ever had Before I knew I'd need somewhere to land [Bridge] Some nights I wake and reach into the dark The way I used to back then Looking for that hand that held me steady And I'm a little kid again [Chorus — Male Lead Vocal — Female Harmony Vocal — Wren and Calla] In every picture that I find of us You've got hold of my hand All I feel now is that missing hand More than I'll understand You were the first safe place I ever had Before I knew I'd need somewhere to land [Outro] She never got better at baking I never stopped eating them She never got better at baking And I'd eat them all again
