Lyrics
Verse 1
I come in late with the cold still onYour side already waiting, lights half goneI slide in careful like I might break luckAnd the whole hard day gives up at the tuck
Chorus
Your sidePulls me inYour sideWe begin
Verse 2
Hotels are nicer and they still feel wrongMissing the shape I have known so longHome ain’t lumber and it ain’t a streetHome is the heat where your shoulder meets
Chorus
Your sidePulls me inYour sideWe begin
Bridge
I used to think love had to make a soundNow I know it lives in a mattress dent worn downNo speech needed in that little heatJust your back waiting, steady and sweet
Verse 3
Morning comes slow and you steal the sheetI don’t fight it, I call it completeKiss your hair and I start the grindGirl, your side is the truce I find
Chorus
Your sidePulls me inYour sideWe begin
Bridge
Keep warming that place till we’re old and grayIt’s a small mercy at the end of dayI can take the miles and I can take the weatherLong as I land on your side together
