Pass the Salt, Pass the Truth

[Verse 1] The roast is resting Steam on the glass A chair leg scrapes And I don’t ask Dad cuts the bread Like he’s fixing time Mom passes greens In a quiet line [Pre-Chorus] Everybody sits down slow We all know what we know One more plate, one more prayer Heavy air, I’m already there [Chorus] Pass the salt, pass the truth Keep me here beside you Pass the salt, pass the truth I was built for this room Second helping, second look Same old stories, new way they cut Pass the salt, pass the truth I come back to you [Verse 2] My sister laughs At a joke she’s told Grandma hums low From the end of the fold The table holds All our broken years Under the forks And the little tears [Pre-Chorus] Everybody sits down slow We all know what we know One more plate, one more prayer Heavy air, I’m already there [Chorus] Pass the salt, pass the truth Keep me here beside you Pass the salt, pass the truth I was built for this room Second helping, second look Same old stories, new way they cut Pass the salt, pass the truth I come back to you [Bridge] Let the silence stay Let the anger cool There’s a place for me At this crowded table too [Chorus] Pass the salt, pass the truth Keep me here beside you Pass the salt, pass the truth I was built for this room Second helping, second look Same old stories, new way they cut Pass the salt, pass the truth I come back to you
