Lyric

Phone face down

On the wood

Three soft buzzes

I let them move

Name on the screen

Then it fades

I type a little

Then erase

Keep it neat

Keep it light

Cut the part

That sounds too tight

Leave out the shaking

Leave out the bruise

If they can answer

Then I can too

Make it smaller

Make it clean

Sand the edges

Till it seems

Easy enough

To let go by

Easy enough

To read as fine

Make it sound fine

Make it sound fine

Make it sound fine

So they can breathe

Make it sound fine

Make it sound fine

Soft on the wire

Easy to keep

I trim the sentence

Till it smiles

Take out the worst of it

One more time

Swap in a reason

Use a calm tone

Put all the damage

Under one word

No hard corners

No hard truth

Just a smooth line

For the room

If I say it simple

Maybe it lands

Maybe it passes

In their hands

Make it smaller

Make it clean

Sand the edges

Till it seems

Easy enough

To let go by

Easy enough

To read as fine

Make it sound fine

Make it sound fine

Make it sound fine

So they can breathe

Make it sound fine

Make it sound fine

Soft on the wire

Easy to keep

I know what I cut

I know what stayed

The sharp little piece

I hid away

I keep my voice low

Keep my face still

Turn the whole storm

Into a hill

Make it sound fine

Make it sound fine

Make it sound fine

So they can breathe

Make it sound fine

Make it sound fine

Soft on the wire

Easy to keep

Make it sound fine

Make it sound fine

If I say less

Will you still see me
