Pressed to the fence while our time slips away from me
Call when you get yourself home
I finally abandoned my false sense of bravery
Faked it and made it my own

Wrapped in your jacket spark in the bar room
Just us and six-point buck
Before you this place loved a bark and an argue
You made it stand still and shut up

Holdin' my horses, It's more important to me
That I see you completely
Call off the cavalry, I've met a masterpiece
Painted on peel plaster walls

So stay there
Hands wrapped around a glass
and your hair up at a hole in the wall
I'll stay where I sat
Listenin' as you lit the room of people
that don't know you at all

Soaked in your voice like a river of rose water
Poolin' around at my feet
The ghosts in the gallery watch as you capture me
Bringin' my pride to its knees

A beach mural backdrop that's seen
every sinner pass through and pass out on a stool
Suddenly changed, seemed to patch up it's paint
Came to life when it stood behind you

More than a melody, verity envelops me
I want to tell you completely
Call off the cavalry, I've met a masterpiece
Painted on peel plaster walls

So stay there
Hands wrapped around a glass
and your hair up at a hole in the wall
I'll stay where I sat
Listenin' as you lit the room of people
that don't know you at all

With tears in your eyes you look just like a Monet painting
I can't see you cry without seein' your soul
Somehow your taking the world without one drop wasted
How many colors could you possibly hold?

So stay there
Hands wrapped around a glass
and your hair up at a hole in the wall
I'll stay where I sat
Listenin' as you lit the room of people
that don't know you at all
[Outro]
Keep me
Trippin' over myself
while you tuck your hands into your sleeves
Need me
Like I need you to know
that the lights flicker off when you leave
