Lyric

Keys on the table

Shoes by the door

You slide down the fridge

Still in your coat on the floor

Your eyes say “done”

But your mouth just laughs

“You should’ve seen my inbox”

Then your voice just cracks

Lay it down

All the weight you carried home

Every little battle

You fought on your own

You don’t have to be so strong

Not with me tonight

Let the soft hours hold you

Till the edge of the light

Clock on the oven

Blinks 2:04

Half a cup of coffee

Cold by the drawer

You trace your day

On the countertop

Words start rushing

Then they finally stop

Take my hands

Let your breathing find its way

You gave the world your daylight

Save me what’s left of today

You don’t have to make it pretty

Or dress the story up right

Just give me the tired version

I’ll stay through the night

Bus pass and papers

Spilled in a heap

You say, “I should shower”

But your body wants sleep

I tuck your hair

Behind your ear

Say, “Close your eyes

I’m still here”

Close your eyes

Let the ceiling fade to gray

Every little worry

Can wait for another day

You’ve done enough, more than enough

You don’t have to prove your fight

Let my quiet heartbeat answer

All the noise inside

You light up rooms

Then walk home in the dark

But you’re not a machine

You’re a wandering heart

If today was a storm

Let this be the calm

Come rest your tired thunder

In the shelter of my arms

Phone on the nightstand

Face down, still

Rain on the window

Soft on the sill

You’re half asleep

Murmur, “Was I in the way?”

I kiss your forehead

Say, “You were brave today”

So drift down slow

Let the long day fall apart

Every heavy moment

Sliding off your heart

There’s nothing left to earn here

You already shine so bright

I’ll keep the world outside

You just sleep through the night
