Sit With Me (feat. Pamela)

https://youtu.be/gUda82lYbxQ

The house got quiet when the last one drove away

You stood there in the kitchen, coffee going cold

Thirty years of packing lunches, kissing scraped-up knees

Nobody ever asked you where it hurts when you get old

You held your mama's hand through those long hospital nights

Then drove home in the dark and held yourself

So sit with me, you don't have to be strong

Kick your shoes off, honey, stay here all night long

You spent your whole life pouring out

Let somebody pour for you for once

Sit with me, I know, 'cause I've been there too

Sit with me, this porch was built for two

There's a girl in that old mirror you don't recognize

But I still see her, the one with paint under her nails

The one who used to sing out loud with all the windows down

Before her name got traded in for "Mama" and "my wife"

She's not gone, she's just been waiting

For a quiet hour that finally came

So sit with me, you don't have to be strong

Kick your shoes off, honey, stay here all night long

You spent your whole life pouring out

Let somebody pour for you for once

Sit with me, I know, 'cause I've been there too

Sit with me, this porch was built for two

We gave our springs and summers to everybody else

Watched our dreams sit folded in a drawer up on the shelf

But look out at that garden, girl, the late bloom's still the best

Your season isn't over

It's just getting started, I can tell

So sit with me, let those old tears fall

You don't have to explain a thing at all

You spent your whole life pouring out

Tonight this cup is yours

Sit with me, I know, 'cause I've been there too

Sit with me, and when the morning comes

We'll still be sitting here, me and you

Sit with me...

Honey, I'm not going anywhere

Sit with me...
