Lyrics
[Verse 1] I found your note in the fruit bowl Three words, a coffee ring Said, “Meet me by the old canal” I laughed, then felt that sting You came with your sleeves rolled up And that blue paint on your thumb We fed the ducks stale crackers Like we were five years young [Pre-Chorus] And I didn’t know I was that tired Till you held the door And lit that fire [Chorus] Hold me where the water bends Hold me till my shaking ends We can drift, we can stay We can make a new way Hold me where the water bends (hold me, hold me) I’m not scared to start again With you, with you [Verse 2] Your bike leaned up on the railing My shoes got muddy, sure You said, “Some things only grow After they’re broken first” We watched the paper boats we made Spin out into the bend Mine went left, then vanished Yours kept coming back again [Pre-Chorus] And I didn’t know How much I needed One small yes To keep breathing [Chorus] Hold me where the water bends Hold me till my shaking ends We can drift, we can stay We can make a new way Hold me where the water bends (hold me, hold me) I’m not scared to start again With you, with you [Bridge] Maybe hope is just a hand On the edge of your sleeve Maybe home is a voice Saying, “Stay here with me” [Final Chorus] Hold me where the water bends Hold me till my shaking ends We can drift, we can stay We can make a new way Hold me where the water bends (hold me, hold me) I’m not scared to start again With you, with you With you, with you
