Love me past my past

Intro

Hook
The life we had was moving way too fast
Just tell me you will love me past my past
I feel your heavy breath against my spine
Look at me Matt and know that you are mine

Verse 1
I grabbed your bruised and swollen knuckles in my hand
We promised both of us would make another stand
You kept your jacket zipped against the basement cold
I told you here is something real for us to hold
We threw our jackets down beside the railroad track
And made a pact that neither one is looking back
The trauma from that corner cut you way too deep
I watch you shake beside me when you cannot sleep
They said we'd end up buried six feet in the ground
Now all they ever get from us is empty sound
We threw away that lifestyle keeping both us clean
You are the only person who has truly seen

Hook
The life we had was moving way too fast
Just tell me you will love me past my past
I feel your heavy breath against my spine
Look at me Matt and know that you are mine

Verse 2
You trace your rough thumb over every one my scars
We almost threw our twenties out behind the bars
They dared you ever crossing back across that line
I packed the boxes up and told you we are fine
Nobody in the neighborhood thought we would stay
We drove that rusty truck until we found our way
Whenever you start shaking I just hold you tight
We fought through every corner till we got it right
We threw away the numbers on that burner phone
We got a quiet kitchen and we sit alone
You lean your forehead down against my heavy head
We meant every single word that we just said

Hook
The life we had was moving way too fast
Just tell me you will love me past my past
I feel your heavy breath against my spine
Look at me Matt and know that you are mine

Outro
The world around us spun around too fast
Thank you for loving me beyond my past
