Verse 1
Loving can hurt, loving can hurt sometimes.
But it's the only thing that I know.
When it gets hard, you know it can get hard sometimes,
It is the only thing that makes us feel alive.
[Pre-Chorus]
We keep this love in a photograph.
We made these memories for ourselves.
Where our eyes are never closing,
Our hearts are never broken,
And time's forever frozen, still.
[Chorus]
So you can keep me
Inside the pocket of your ripped jeans.
Holding me close until our eyes meet.
You won't ever be alone, wait for me to come home.
[Verse 2]
Loving can heal, loving can mend your soul,
And it's the only thing that I know, know.
I swear it will get easier, remember that with every piece of 'ya,
And it's the only thing we take with us when we die.
[Pre-Chorus]
We keep this love in a photograph.
We made these memories for ourselves.
Where our eyes are never closing,
Our hearts were never broken,
And time's forever frozen, still.
[Chorus]
So you can keep me
Inside the pocket of your ripped jeans.
Holding me close until our eyes meet.
You won't ever be alone,
And if you hurt me,
That's okay baby, only words bleed.
Inside these pages you just hold me,
And I won't ever let you go.
Wait for me to come home,
Wait for me to come home,
Wait for me to come home,
Wait for me to come home.
[Bridge]
You can fit me
Inside the necklace you got when you were sixteen.
Next to your heartbeat where I should be.
Keep it deep within your soul.
And if you hurt me
Well that's okay baby, only words bleed.
Inside these pages you just hold me,
And I won't ever let you go.
[Outro]
When I'm away, I will remember how you kissed me
Under the lamppost back on Sixth street,
Hearing you whisper through the phone,
Wait for me to come home
