You came in late with rain on your sleeves Pizza box bent by your knees My old keys fell in the bowl You said, “I found my way home” Your laugh hit hard in the hall Like a match in a paper stall I was half gone, half awake Then you looked at me that way And the room got small Then it got wide I heard my name For the first time My hands were shaking On the counter edge You said stay here So I stayed instead Hold me right here Hold me right now You’re the spark I keep When the whole world clouds Hold me right here Don’t let me slide You make a little home Out of borrowed time (hold me right here) We danced in socks on the tile Bad song, good mood, crooked smile Your jacket hung on the chair Like it had always lived there I burned toast, you saved the night Cut apples with a butter knife We laughed at the smoke alarm Like it was part of the plan And the room got small Then it got wide I heard my name For the first time My hands were shaking On the counter edge You said stay here So I stayed instead Hold me right here Hold me right now You’re the spark I keep When the whole world clouds Hold me right here Don’t let me slide You make a little home Out of borrowed time (hold me right here) If the morning comes With its sharp-edged truth If it takes the map And it pulls at you I’ll still know What your touch can do It can turn a broken thing Into something new Hold me right here Hold me right now You’re the spark I keep When the whole world clouds Hold me right here Don’t let me slide You make a little home Out of borrowed time Hold me right here (hold me right here) Hold me right now (hold me right now) You make a little home Out of borrowed time
