[Verse 1] I fix the front door latch Before I fix my sleep I hear the floorboards talk While you all dream deep I keep my hands unshaken Even when the room goes cold I take the hit in silence So your hearts stay gold [Pre-Chorus] If the dark comes walking It finds me first If the night gets hungry It meets my curse [Chorus] I am steel between us Steel between us Stand behind my back I will hold the line I am steel between us Steel between us If it takes my life You get home alive (Steel between us) [Verse 2] I learned to smile through damage Learned to stand when bones complain A father, brother, lover I wear every name There are wolves in human clothing There are hands that take and run So I stay where the danger lives Till the danger’s done [Pre-Chorus] If the dark comes walking It finds me first If the night gets hungry It meets my curse [Chorus] I am steel between us Steel between us Stand behind my back I will hold the line I am steel between us Steel between us If it takes my life You get home alive (Steel between us) [Bridge] Let the thunder strike my shoulders Let it split the ground I was made to be the door That no harm gets around And if I fall tomorrow Let it say I tried I kept the fire off your skin I took it in my hide [Final Chorus] I am steel between us Steel between us Stand behind my back I will hold the line I am steel between us Steel between us If it takes my life You get home alive I am steel between us Steel between us Nothing gets through me While you’re by my side (Steel between us)
