Story

We met in a chat room for mistreated lovers
Said right me a wrong tonight
Given all that he'd seen and all that she'd taken
I'm doubting that he'll be "all right"

20 days after I wrote him a hate song
With all of the flourish I owned
And undoubtedly pleased, to his eyes came a sparkle
There's something that he had to show

He said I'll be your strong companion
I can't stand being wrong again
As we move on, I'll stand beside you
Trusting in our daily bread

Traded our screen names for glasses and bar stools
"Do I even know your real name?"
Minutes turned hours as we got to talking
Continued as closing time came
Climbing the stairs of his east-side apartment
He tells me his innocent plan
Finding a room with a worn-down piano
He plays until I understand

He said I'll be your strong companion
I can't stand being wrong again
As we move on, I'll stand beside you
Trusting in our daily bread

Now we play love songs at spots in the city
Where people remember our names
The keys are on fire and I'd be a liar
If I said I could walk away

Somewhere there's a whisper of anger and cruelty
Plotting its cold victory
I feel it dividing... but if you stand beside me...
We can suppress it today
Yeah!

He said I'll be your strong companion
I can't stand being wrong again
As we move on, I'll stand beside you
Trusting in our daily bread

He said I'll be your strong companion
He can't stand being wrong again
As we move on, I'll stand beside you
Trusting in our daily bread
