Lyric

You drop your keys

To the kitchen floor

Mutter “I’m fine”

But your shoulders say more

Coffee gone cold

On the counter again

You stare at the tiles

Like they’re counting your days

Come here

Take that armor off

Let the email world

Scroll on past

You did enough

For one long day

Lean into me

Just breathe, just stay

You say “it’s nothing”

Then list every flaw

Every missed call

Every tiny misstep

You joke about quitting

Then laugh too fast

Eyes glassed, tired

Hands that never rest

Tonight

You don’t have to prove a thing

Let the could-have-beens

Float out of your hands

You’re not your to‑do lists

Or those restless plans

You’re a soft, warm heartbeat

Right here where I am

Outside, cars hum

Like a far-off sea

Blue glow painting

Your face in quiet waves

Your voice goes small

“am I falling behind?”

I tuck that fear

Back into its place

If the world feels too loud today

We can turn it down to a hum

Let the windows frame the darkness

While your worries come undone

You are safe in this small room

My arms your favorite excuse

To be nothing but tired

And loved, and used-to-the-truth

Your laugh shows up

In a crooked line

When I steal your phone

Slide it out of sight

“Call in sick to the future”

I tease you light

“tonight you answer

Only to the night”

[softer, almost spoken]

We’ll stay right here

Til your heartbeat slows

Counting breaths

On the tip of my nose

If you fall asleep mid-sentence

I’ll keep it for you

Every unfinished thought

Held, til tomorrow feels new

So come here

Let the long day fall

Leave the endless race

At the end of the hall

You did enough

More than you’ll ever say

I’ll keep the dark outside

You can rest here today
