[Verse 1]
You keep that badge in your purse
Like it’s proof you’ll still be first
Every call, every renewal
You treat it like oxygen
I watch you count the risks
Like they’re bills you can’t miss
And I’m right here on the edge
Trying not to say too much
[Pre-Chorus]
I know what keeps you up
I know what you’re scared to lose
But I’m losing you in pieces
Just trying to be good for you
[Chorus]
You can always find another job
I can’t find another you
I can always hold this heart back
But it still runs straight to you
So go on, keep your license
Keep your name up on the wall
I’ll love you from a distance
I’ll be here after all
[Verse 2]
You talk in deadlines and forms
I talk in quiet storms
You say it’s just a season
But seasons don’t feel this long
I don’t ask you to choose
I know what you would lose
Still every time you leave me there
It cuts clean through
[Pre-Chorus]
I know what keeps you up
I know what you’re scared to lose
But I’m losing you in pieces
Just trying to be good for you
[Chorus]
You can always find another job
I can’t find another you
I can always hold this heart back
But it still runs straight to you
So go on, keep your license
Keep your name up on the wall
I’ll love you from a distance
I’ll be here after all
[Bridge]
If your hands are shaking now
I’ll be the steady ground
If the world gets loud around you
I won’t ask you to turn around
I learned to love like this
With the ache and the space
With your future in one hand
And my heart in the other place
[Chorus]
You can always find another job
I can’t find another you
I can always hold this heart back
But it still runs straight to you
So go on, keep your license
Keep your name up on the wall
I’ll love you from a distance
I’ll be here after all
[Outro]
I’ll be here after all
I can’t find another you
