Thaw

[MVSSY_LVND]:

I still have the heater running in May.

Force of habit, I guess.

Spent three months staring at the same four corners,

forgetting how to dress for the outside.

Then you text me out of nowhere,and the room doesn't feel as small.

[MVSSY_LVND]:

It’s like the first day you can leave the coat at home.

I forgot that my hands could actually feel warm.

It’s a little scary, honestly,

letting someone see the mess left behind.

But the ice is cracking on the driveway,

and I’m finally looking out the window.

[Male Guest - Rap]:

Yeah, I noticed you were keeping your distance.

Standing near the back, checking your phone every two minutes.

I know your last relationship felt like a hostage situation,

leaving you cold, stuck in your own head, losing patience.

But I’m not them, and I’m not trying to rush this.

We can just sit in the car, listen to the radio, talk about justice,

or talk about nothing at all.

See, the snow is melting off the roof now.

You don’t have to keep your guard up every time I look down.

Let’s just drive with the windows cracked, feel the breeze on your face,

we can leave the heavy stuff back at your place.

[MVSSY_LVND]:

I’ve been hiding out for so long...

[Male Guest]:

Yeah, I know.

[MVSSY_LVND]:

Forgot what the sun felt like.

[Male Guest]:

It’s right here.

[MVSSY_LVND]: The ground is finally showing through...

[TOGETHER]: And it feels new.

[MVSSY_LVND]:

It’s like the first day you can leave the coat at home.

It’s a little scary, honestly,

letting someone see the mess left behind.

and I’m finally looking out the window.

[MVSSY_LVND]:

[Speaking casually, a little breathless, laughing quietly at herself]:

Hey, so… I’m actually walking to the store right now. And I just realized I didn't even grab my jacket. Like, I’m just out here in a t-shirt and it’s fine? It’s crazy how fast the snow melted. Honestly, my place is still a total disaster, but… I don’t know. I’m just glad you called. Let me know when you're close, okay?

Bye.

[MVSSY_LVND]:

Yeah... looking out the window.

No coat today.
