Jessie’s Song

Some people run from what hurts.
Some people learn where they belong.

Lyrics:

He met her in a bar by the northern sea
Cheap lights, long talk, gravity
She said something broke when she was young
He didn’t fix it, just held on

Couple hours felt like a year
Left town with a hole and a souvenir
He didn’t know what love would cost
Just knew something real got lost

Some fires warm you
Some burn clean through
Some leave a mark
You carry like truth

He learned to stay when the road said run
Learned the difference between need and love
Some hearts chase thunder
Some learn the rain
He learned to stay
He learned to stay

Years went fast in a neon blur
Crowds at night, no one at the curb
Applause came easy, silence didn’t
He smiled wide, but he kept his distance

He made a vow in a busted year
If they don’t want me, I disappear
Built a life on moving on
Kept the music, buried the song

You don’t outrun
What you don’t name
You just circle back
To the same old flame

He learned to stay when the road said run
Learned the difference between need and love
Some hearts chase thunder
Some learn the rain
He learned to stay
He learned to stay

Time passed quiet, love showed up slow
A steady hand, a place to go
She didn’t ask him to be saved
Just stood there when he shook awake

Then a ghost knocked late one July
Old words lit like a match inside
For a minute the past came alive
But he knew the cost, knew the line

Some love’s a mirror
Some love’s a test
Some love shows you
Where you bled the rest

He didn’t curse it
Didn’t pretend
Just closed the door
And chose what’s left

He learned to stay when the road said run
Learned the difference between need and love
Some hearts chase thunder
Some learn the rain
He learned to stay

Now the night rolls easy, radio low
Spring air where the cold once froze
The past is a town he drives through slow
Waves once…
Then lets it go

Yeah, he learned to stay.
