Just a Little (Remix)

I saw your face outside the door before you pushed it in
You slapped a twenty on the bar and kissed me on the chin
I talked too fast like running past a house that's full of ghosts
So you wouldn't climb up on the porch and peak in soft and close

But don't look too deep, there are reasons I can't sleep
And the promises I keep would burn your heart
And don't be so sure the symptoms won't outlast the cure
And you're lonelier than you were at the start

When you would hold me just a little, just a little
You would own me just a little
You would roll me just a little, just a little
We used to live inside a love that was a little like that

I hadn't planned to hold your hand, it didn't seem the time
But you leaned in low and whispered so I thought that I'd be fine
I couldn't say what tore us down, it probably was me
I'd never tell you to your face or that man you used to see

I keep things hid, I always did, you drag them toward the light
But when I'm left alone or drunk I can't keep them out of sight
And sometimes near the crack of night or rolling into dawn
I think of how we had it right and how we had it wrong

When you would hold me just a little, just a little
You would own me just a little
You would roll me just a little, just a little
We used to live inside a love that was a little like that

You would play me just a little, just a little
You would slay me just a little
You would save me just a little, just a little
We used to live inside a love that was a little like that

You would hold me just a little, just a little
You would own me just a little
You would roll me just a little, just a little
We used to live inside a love that was a little like that
