歌詞

Cup resting on the table

Steam drifting through the dim

You tell me

“It’s been such a long week”

And I catch the break in your laugh

Stay a little longer

Let your worries slide down the glass

You don’t have to carry every sunrise

Every task

Tonight you’re just a heartbeat

Wrapped in an old sweater and sighs

I’ll be the quiet chair beside you

Till the weight rolls off your eyes

Clock over your shoulder

Numbers creeping slow

You trace all the overtime

In the creases of your coat

You talk about the deadlines

How they chase you in your sleep

I top off your cup once more

Say

“You’ve already climbed so deep”

Street hum in the window

World fading to a blur

You finally lean your head back

Let the silence answer first

[low vocal register]

You don’t have to be the strong one here

Not in this room

Not tonight

Let your shoulders drop

Breathe slow

My dear

I’ll hold the tired part of you in the light

[crescendo]

And when the morning calls your name again

Remember how it felt to rest

How this small

Soft hour

Took the armor off your chest
