Every Time I Almost Trip (Version 2)

[Verse 1]

Every time I feel like crying

You press a tissue in my hand

Every time the room feels silent

You somehow already understand

Every time the wind cuts through me

You tuck my collar

Zip me tight

Every time my mind starts falling

You talk me steady through the night

[Chorus]

Every time I almost trip

You reach out

You catch my wrist

Turn the sidewalk to a pillow

Turn the stumble to a kiss

Every time I almost slip

Off the edge of what I am

You don’t ask me to be stronger

You just hold me where I stand

[Verse 2]

Every time I say I’m “okay”

You hear the shaking in the word

You sit down on the floor beside me

No advice

Just being heard

Every time my past comes knocking

You stand smiling at the door

Turn the ghosts into old stories

Till they don’t scare me anymore

[Chorus]

Every time I almost trip

You reach out

You catch my wrist

Turn the sidewalk to a pillow

Turn the stumble to a kiss

Every time I almost slip

Off the edge of what I am

You don’t ask me to be stronger

You just hold me where I stand

[Bridge]

Maybe someday you’ll feel tired

Maybe someday you’ll lose your light

I’ll be the one to bring you coffee

I’ll be the coat on your cold night (yeah)

[Chorus]

Every time I almost trip

You reach out

You catch my wrist

Turn the shaking of my heartbeat

To a dance I can’t resist

Every time I almost slip

Off the edge of what I am

You don’t ask me to be better

You just love me as I am
