Lyrics

Verse

Two in the morning and the lights are too bright

A curtain, a chair, and the whole of the night

Your hand on their hair while they finally sleep

And a hundred small worries you're trying to keep

Chorus

You brought them in, love, you brought them in

That was the part that was yours

You lifted them up and you got in the car

And you carried them right through those doors

Verse

You keep running the afternoon back through your head

The grass and the tree and the words that you said

You looked away once, the way anyone would

And then you looked back, and you did what you could

Chorus

You brought them in, love, you brought them in

That was the part that was yours

You lifted them up and you got in the car

And you carried them right through those doors

Outro

You brought them in

And you stayed
