Lyrics
Hmm, hmm, hmm Hmm, hmm Twelve years old, chlorine in our hair One gym bag, two mismatched shoes I had a spare hair tie for everyone You were loud, I was quiet You said, "Sit by me," and I did I never said it Not once, not plain Thank you for staying Hmm, hmm Thank you for staying You saw me at my worst, and stayed Thank you for staying Hmm, hmm You chased the stages, I stayed put I married, then I didn't You said one cruel thing about my life I said a worse one back A whole year of quiet Years of voicemails I let ring Then your name lit up my phone I envied your nerve You envied my calm I never said it Not once, not plain Thank you for staying Hmm, hmm Thank you for staying You saw me at my worst, and stayed Thank you for staying Hmm, hmm Tonight we sat outside the hospital Laughing at the same old jokes Your bracelet gone pale on your wrist Mine just as frayed On the bus, streetlights smeared on the glass I played you at nineteen "Call me back, I did something dumb" Your voice still bright as day I'm not making a speech I'm just saying it So thank you for staying Hmm, hmm I'm saying it plain, while you can hear Thank you for staying Hmm, hmm You stayed a step behind and cheered Everything I am, you saw first Thank you for staying Hmm, hmm, hmm Thank you for staying Hmm, hmm
