lyrics

2 a.m. and wearing ruts into the floor.
Pacing circles, playing back the day. Once more
I see the look in your eyes—
the question spoken without speaking.
The worry mixed with understanding.
And the answer is hidden in my mind.

You’re so patient, taking everything in stride.
You’re so certain; I just wish I could decide
alone and in a vacuum,
but life is loud and complicated.
Even now, in this dark bedroom,
I can’t hear my voice above the crowd in my head.

I never asked for someone like you—
I didn’t know it was an option.
I tried to settle, I tried to rush things once before.
I trust you, dear, but I don’t trust myself.
...So here we are.

4 a.m. and all is quiet in this place;

just my breathing getting slower as I trace
the shape of your head sleeping
on the empty pillow there beside me.
I can almost hear your heartbeat
as my eyelids close.
