歌詞

It won’t let up—

This “what the hell” caged in my chest

I swore to love you out loud

But my breath keeps failing the test

Forgive these trembling hands

This faith that thins like skin;

I rehearse my courage in silence

Then swallow it back in

Do I live somewhere inside you?

My tongue forgets the ask

Once fire steered the engine—

Now it stalls, out of gas

I wanna place a crown of daylight

On the name that lives in you

This suit still drowns my shoulders

But I’m learning what to do

I already turned you into music—

So let the chorus speak it true

If love can’t be clean, let it be honest;

I’ll carry both me and you

Confidence wears like a rental—

Seams that pull, hems that drag

I smile for every photograph

Then fade behind the flash

Yet when your name meets paper

My hands remember how to stay;

Ink becomes a kind of courage

That doesn’t run away

If I stall, if I falter

Keep the doorway open wide

I’ll find you in the hallway

Between our two unsure sides

Let our breathing be the choir

Let the doubt become the art

I’ll place that crown of daylight

Though the suit still swallows me whole

I don’t look like the man they’d follow

But I’m brave enough to hold

I already turned you into music—

So let this chorus make us whole

If love can’t be clean, let it be honest;

I choose you, scars and all

I’ll love you like I’m learning—

Not perfect, but for real
