Meet You in the Middlev6

[Verse 1] You left your coat on the kitchen chair The kettle clicked, but you weren’t there I kept the note by the telephone Three plain words: “I’ll make it home” [Pre-Chorus] I don’t need a promise dressed in gold Just tell me what you can honestly hold [Chorus] Stay a little, speak it plainly Tell me where you are tonight No grand rescue, no forever Just your hand in mine, held tight If you’re leaving, say it clearly If you’re staying, let it show I can meet you in the middle I just need to know [Verse 2] Your work boots tracked the rain inside You set them down and met my eyes We ate cold soup beside the sink And let the silence shrink [Pre-Chorus] I don’t need a promise dressed in gold Just tell me what you can honestly hold [Chorus] Stay a little, speak it plainly Tell me where you are tonight No grand rescue, no forever Just your hand in mine, held tight If you’re leaving, say it clearly If you’re staying, let it show I can meet you in the middle I just need to know [Bridge] We can start with what is true One small thing, then one thing new No perfect words, no polished scene Just you and me, and what we mean [Final Chorus] Stay a little, speak it plainly Tell me where you are tonight No grand rescue, no forever Just your hand in mine, held tight If you’re leaving, say it clearly If you’re staying, let it show I can meet you in the middle I just need to know [Outro] The kettle cools, the room grows still Your coat stays here; the choice is yours
