Lyrics
Verse 1
Some nights I come in carrying the stormYou don’t poke at it, you keep me warmGive me space till my jaw unhooksThen you slide in close with that quiet look
Chorus
You know whenTo come closeYou know whenI need most
Verse 2
You never crowd me and you never fleeYou read the weather living under meThat’s a rare kind of brave, a rarer kind of smartYou don’t just love me, you know my heart
Chorus
You know whenTo come closeYou know whenI need most
Bridge
I ain’t simple and I ain’t always kindYou learned the map I couldn’t findMost folks guess and they guess it wrongYou been singing my silence all along
Verse 3
Coffee, shoulder, or the long way homeYou pick the medicine and you leave it aloneI don’t have to ask, you already knewGirl, that’s why I keep coming back to you
Chorus
You know whenTo come closeYou know whenI need most
Bridge
Keep reading me like an old worn pageThat’s the gift that got me through the ageI can lose a lot and still stand tallLong as you know when to catch my fall
