Lyric

I left the dust outside

But it found my sleeve

Keys on the little tray

And I still can't breathe

Shoes by the front door

Mail I won't even sort

I say "I'm home" out loud

Like I'm not keeping watch

Hands on the sink again

Trying to slow my mind

I know the lock is turned

Still I keep looking twice

I wear plastic too long

I wear plastic too long

I know I'm safe enough

But I don't feel done

I wear plastic too long

I wear plastic too long

Let me learn your room

Let me put it down

I wipe the table clean

Then I wipe it again

Hang up my heavy coat

But I keep it in my hands

The window's open now

Air moves through the hall

Still every little sound

Makes me stand up tall

I try to lean back

Try to let the chair hold

But my shoulders stay awake

Like they heard something cold

I wear plastic too long

I wear plastic too long

I know I'm safe enough

But I don't feel done

I wear plastic too long

I wear plastic too long

Let me learn your room

Let me put it down

Maybe my body

Needs a minute more

Maybe my heart

Is still at the door

You can take my hand

You can take your time

I want to come in

I just need a sign

I wear plastic too long

I wear plastic too long

I know I'm safe enough

But I don't feel done

I wear plastic too long

I wear plastic too long

Hold me in the calm

Till my pulse comes down

I wear plastic too long

I wear plastic too long

Let me learn your room

Let me put it down
