Lyric

Key hits the table

Face in your palms

Shirt still creased from the rush

Screen glow stuck in your eyes

Missed the last daylight

Watched it from a train

Name tag still on your chest

Brain buzzing louder than traffic

Cold takeout carton

Half-open

Half-forgotten

Phone full of red notifications

You swipe and sigh and stare

Ceiling fan circling

Stacks of old deadlines

Shoes by the door like tired dogs

You’re too worn out to untie

You worked that heart too hard today

Took every call

Gave every piece away

Now your body’s here but your mind’s halfway

Come lay it down

Just lay it down

You don’t have to fix the world tonight

Let the inbox sit

Let the wrongs stay right

All those heavy thoughts can wait outside

Kick off the weight

Stay here

Stay quiet

Every “one last thing” turned into ten

You kept saying “yes” again and again

But you’re not just a checklist penned in ink

You’re skin and soul

You’re allowed to sink (Into me)

Who told you rest was weakness?

Who taught you love is earned?

You’re more than all your output

More than hours that you burned

[soft harmony swell]

Let the clock keep ticking

We don’t owe it anything

Lights down low

You finally breathe

Tomorrow can wait at the door

You’re here

You’re safe

You’re still enough

That’s all you’re working for
