Lyrics
[Verse 1] You sat on that bench Rain on your sleeves I came in hot With my teeth in a line You said, "Say it straight" So I let it spill The old knife truth And the new hurt too [Pre-Chorus] We stared at the path Like it might answer back Your jaw set hard Mine fell apart Then you said my name Like a hand on glass And something in me Stopped going black [Chorus] Bench talk, break me open Bench talk, let it sting Bench talk, keep me honest Say it plain, then sing I was mad when I came here Now I'm not the same Bench talk, bench talk Say my name, say my name [Verse 2] Your coffee went cold Mine never got touched A kid with a kite Cut through the park You laughed once, sharp At the mess we made Then you leaned right in Like you knew my shame I bit back hard You didn't leave Just picked up the words That I couldn't keep [Pre-Chorus] We stared at the path Like it might answer back Your jaw set hard Mine fell apart Then you said my name Like a hand on glass And something in me Stopped going black [Chorus] Bench talk, break me open Bench talk, let it sting Bench talk, keep me honest Say it plain, then sing I was mad when I came here Now I'm not the same Bench talk, bench talk Say my name, say my name [Bridge] No grand rescue No shining sign Just two sore hearts On painted wood You let me rage Then let me breathe That counts as grace In a cracked-up world [Final Chorus] Bench talk, break me open Bench talk, let it sting Bench talk, keep me honest Say it plain, then sing I was mad when I came here Now I'm not the same Bench talk, bench talk Say my name, say my name Bench talk, break me open Bench talk, let it heal Bench talk, keep me honest That’s the first thing real I was mad when I came here Now I can stay Bench talk, bench talk We talked it out today
