Borrow My Brave

You can give it back later

You wrote the toast across a diner receipt
Kept turning over every line
The glass of water shook against your fingers
You said, What if I lose it when it's time?
I said, Start with how you met your brother's wife
I'll be the face you find beside the aisle

You don't have to feel it first
We can take the first step while you shake

Borrow my brave
Till your own comes walking through the door
I can hold the room a minute
You don't have to be the strong one anymore

I've got you
Go on, I've got you

Three months later I was in a new town
Reading every bus map upside down
Said I loved it when you called to ask me
Then went quiet at the traffic sound
You said, Tell me where you're standing right this second
I said the corner, and you let me cry

You didn't make a speech about beginning
You stayed until I knew which way to walk

Borrow my brave

Borrow my brave
Till your own comes walking through the door
I can hold the room a minute
You don't have to be the strong one anymore

I thought I had to be the one with answers
You said you'd never needed me that way
Sometimes all the giving gets so heavy
I forget that I can ask for you to stay

Borrow my brave
Till your own comes walking through the door
I can hold the room a minute
You don't have to be the strong one anymore

Borrow my brave
Till your own comes walking through the door
I can hold the room a minute
You don't have to be the strong one anymore

Borrow my brave
You can give it back later
I've got you
You said, I've got you
