[Verse 1] [low vocal range] You leave your coffee by the windows You want your whipped cream, nothing more I know the shape of all your silences & I know what you came here for When your week has taken pieces And your hands forget their strength Let your tears fall on my shoulders Let me soak away the pain No grand promise, no perfect line Just your fingers finding mine When the world is up in flames, on fire Come a little closer and find [Chorus] You can rest here in my arms Let the darkness lose its hold I will keep you safe and warm Till your tattered heart unfolds No need to run, no need to hide I'm staying in your life If love is a place we choose Then every road leads back to you And every road leads back to you [Verse 2] [Humming: quiet angelic lower harmonies and vocal fifths in the background] [female baritone lead vocal] You blush with your head turned sideways Then you try to play it cool I catch the truth between your sentences And every little rule There are names for every feeling But yours has never fit a word It is the quiet after thunder It is the kindest thing I've heard No grand promise, no perfect line Just your fingers finding mine When the world gets loud outside Come a little closer tonight [Chorus] You can rest here in my arms Let the hard day lose its hold I will keep you safe and warm Till your tired heart unfolds No need to run, no need to hide I'm staying by your side If love is a place we choose Then every road leads back to you [Bridge] [choppy drum solo under vocal lead] If tomorrow changes every plan I will meet you where you land If the room goes dark and wide Take my hand, I'm on your side We don't need a perfect plan I just need every life with you [Chorus] [cogic choir singing harmonies in the far background slowly increasing in closeness until end of chorus when they fade away] You can rest here in my arms Let the darkness lose its hold I will keep you safe and warm Till your tired heart unfolds No need to run, no need to hide I'm staying by your side If love is a place we choose Then every road leads back to you [Outro] [call and response like a conversation] [drop everything but vocals and cello quartet] If love is a place we choose Then every road leads back to you If love is a place we choose Then every road leads back to you If love is a place we choose Then every road leads back to you If love is a place we choose Then every road leads back to you
