[verse] They warned you at the crossroads, honey They said, "Heed our advice" I heard your boots at my front porch Now we both know, you've paid the price I take a little something from every soul One breath, one year, a few memories You'll leave happy, but you won't leave whole [prechorus] Come in, relax, I'm waiting All you need is to say my name I'll pour you something dark and sweet You'll soon forget why you came [chorus] Let me slip off your boots You know I've got you I'll take a little now You'll feel it later Give me the hour You'd lose to sleeping confessions you won't say out loud I'll only take what you've been hiding just show me how [verse] Each one cries out a name not mine, It's the names of their heartbreak Took forty Sundays from a priest last time He left blessed, because from him, I took God's name Sweet thing, you've still got all your memories No one's been inside you yet Now let me wander your memory garden Plucking the blossoms you want to forget [prechorus] Sit down, get warm, stop thinking My home belongs to you for the night You know of my craft, don't you, honey Don't be afraid, there's nothing to fight [chorus] Let me slip off your boots You know I've got you I'll take a little now You'll feel it later Give me the hour you'd lose to sleeping confessions you won't say out loud I'll only take what you've been hiding just show me how [bridge] one deep breath, [Deep breath sound] the cost of hello one little year, that's for my bed one memory of the one who hurt you don't worry, she's safer in my head when you wake tomorrow feeling hollow don't forget, I took away your sin and you'll swear off of me forever but I know, I'll hear those boots again [Outro] Let me slip off your boots you know I've got you... that's the price, you've planted your roots my garden blooms with your memories now it's alright, it's not much to lose So what do you say, baby? Time for you to choose.
