[Verse 1]
Got a raise
Got a place
Got my name on the doorway glass
Friends keep posting baby faces
I just scroll and laugh too fast
Mom keeps asking
“met somebody?”
Change the subject
Sip my drink
All these rooms I walk into
Still one chair missing at the sink
[Pre-Chorus]
Took the long way here on purpose
Built a life that feels like me
But every bedtime victory
Still leaves one space free
[Chorus]
Everything’s blooming ‘round me
I’m the last branch reaching out
Got the job
Got the view
Got my feet off the ground
But my heart’s still saving room on the couch
Yeah
I’ve been single too long
Still I’m holding this hope like a song
When the right one finally walks into this room
I’ll be ready
I’ll be ready for you
[Verse 2]
Weekend markets
Fresh-cut flowers
Buy one stem and joke
“just me”
Cook for two out of old habits
Pack the rest and watch TV
All my edges getting softer
Learned my patterns
Made my peace
Now I’m not afraid of silence
Just afraid the wait won’t cease
[Pre-Chorus]
Built a garden from the gravel
Every crack’s grown something new
Only thing that’s missing
Darling
Is a hand to pull me through
[Chorus]
Everything’s blooming ‘round me
I’m the last branch reaching out
Got the job
Got the view
Got my feet off the ground
But my heart’s still saving room on the couch
Yeah
I’ve been single too long
Still I’m holding this hope like a song
When the right one finally walks into this room
I’ll be ready
I’ll be ready for you
[Bridge]
Maybe you’re stuck in the same slow season
Counting years and second-guessing reasons
If you’re out there staring at your ceiling too (oh)
Know I’m out here doing all this healing
Making space for every fragile feeling
So there’s room enough when I make room for you
[Chorus]
Everything’s blooming ‘round me
I’m the last branch reaching out
Got the keys
Got the dreams
Got the fear worked out
And my heart kept saving room on the couch
Yeah
I’ve been single so long
But I’m holding this hope like a song
When the right one finally walks into this room
I’ll be ready
I’ll be ready
I’ll be ready for you
