But it's the only thing that I know When it gets hard

You know it can get hard sometimes It is the only thing that makes us feel alive

We keep this love in a photograph We made these memories for ourselves

Where our eyes are never closing Hearts are never broken Times forever frozen still

So you can keep me Inside the pocket

Of your ripped jeans Holdin' me closer

'Til our eyes meet You won't ever be alone

Wait for me to come home

Loving can heal

Loving can mend your soul

And it's the only thing that I know

(know)

I swear it will get easier Remember that with every piece of ya

And it's the only thing we take with us when we die

We keep this love in this photograph We made these memories for ourselves

Where our eyes are never closing Our hearts were never broken Times forever frozen still

So you can keep me Inside the pocket

Of your ripped jeans

Holdin' me closer 'Til our eyes meet

You won't ever be alone

And if you hurt me That's OK, baby, only words bleed

Inside these pages you just hold me And I won't ever let you go

Wait for me to come home [4x]

Oh you can fit me Inside the necklace you got when you were 16

Next to your heartbeat Where I should be

Keep it deep within your soul

And if you hurt me Well, that's OK, baby, only words bleed

Inside these pages you just hold me And I won't ever let you go

When I'm away I will remember how you kissed me

Under the lamppost Back on 6th street

Hearing you whisper through the phone,

"Wait for me to come home."
