Salt and Stubborn Hearts

Lyrics

[Verse 1] There's a crowded bar I barely noticed him Just another face, another night wearing thin But something pulled me back around A quiet kind of steady ground The kind of love I never thought I'd find [Chorus] Here's to the one who stays Through the storm and the harder days Who holds the pieces when they fall apart And finds a way to love this stubborn heart Here's to the one who stays [Verse 2] La Frontera, he was sitting there I grabbed the chips and salted them without a care He said "what if I already did?" I said "I don't give a rats ass" and he just grinned Eighteen years and Michael's still right here Loving every edge and every fear [Chorus] Here's to the one who stays Through the storm and the harder days Who holds the pieces when they fall apart And finds a way to love this stubborn heart Here's to the one who stays [Bridge] I know I'm a lot to handle I know I don't make it easy But Michael, you never flinch You just pull me closer when I need it [Verse 3] He took the broken and he made it whole Poured his courage right into my soul I never asked him for the world But he gave it anyway, no second word Michael found the girl beneath the wall And loved her through it all [Chorus] Here's to the one who stays Through the storm and the harder days Who holds the pieces when they fall apart And finds a way to love this stubborn heart Here's to the one who stays [Outro] So here's to you, Michael My always, my stay The best thing that happened The kind of love I never thought I'd find
