These Things You Tell Me

She was wearing where she came from before
It wasn’t what covered her body
Or the hat upon her head
It was the story she was ready to tell me

She uncovered her long ago
I stopped her before she started crying
Let’s save it for another day I said
Maybe it’s tomorrow that needs reminding

If you want to go back
I’ll take you there
Don’t be afraid of it all over again
I already know what you’re going to say

Could you love someone like me
I think maybe you could
Maybe it’s why these things you tell me

We can start with your sorrow
I’m already over mine
If it’s just a friend you need
Then go ahead and plant the seed
My heart grows best in this kind of soil

Could you love someone like me
I think maybe you could
Maybe it’s why these things you tell me
