[Verse 1] If ever you need A place to set down the day I’ll leave the porch light on And let the silence make room [Pre-Chorus] You don’t have to find the words You don’t have to make them neat Just come as you are And sit beside me [Chorus] When the road gets hard to read When the hours weigh you down You can lean your tired heart on me I’ll be here, I won’t let go No grand promise, no perfect speech Just a hand when you reach If ever you need If ever you need [Verse 2] The kettle’s on the stove Your old coat’s by the door We can talk about nothing Or tell the truth we’ve stored [Pre-Chorus] You don’t have to fix the past You don’t have to smile for me Just come as you are And breathe easy [Chorus] When the road gets hard to read When the hours weigh you down You can lean your tired heart on me I’ll be here, I won’t let go No grand promise, no perfect speech Just a hand when you reach If ever you need If ever you need [Bridge] And if tomorrow comes in pieces We’ll take one piece at a time I’ll stay until the room feels steady Until you find your feet again [Final Chorus] When the road gets hard to read When the hours weigh you down You can lean your tired heart on me I’ll be here, I won’t let go No grand promise, no perfect speech Just a hand when you reach If ever you need If ever you need [Outro] If ever you need I’m here
