[Verse 1]
I set the kettle on, then noticed dust
The dust became a letter, must be answered first
The letter led to photographs, the photographs to June
Now supper waits untouched beneath a silver spoon
[Pre-Chorus]
Every little door swings wide
Every little thought steps inside
I chase one thread through a roomful of strings
And lose the reason I started these things
[Chorus]
Look at me, look at me, I’m right here—wait, where did you go?
A bell rings in the middle of a sentence I was born to know
I can hold the whole world brightly, then it slips behind a door
Give me one more second—no, give me four
Look at me, look at me, I’m reaching through the roar
[Verse 2]
I bought a book to read, then sorted every shelf
Found an old receipt and had to question who I was myself
The clock insists it’s noon, my coat says time to leave
I’m dressed for three appointments I forgot to believe
[Pre-Chorus]
Every little spark takes flight
Turns a quiet room to carnival light
I promise I’m listening, promise I care
But half of me’s climbing the curtains somewhere
[Chorus]
Look at me, look at me, I’m right here—wait, what did you say?
The thought I had was perfect, but it wandered clean away
I can carry ten bright lanterns, drop them all beside the floor
Give me one more second—no, give me four
Look at me, look at me, I’m reaching through the roar
[Bridge]
Don’t call me careless, I have carried storms
Don’t call me lazy, I have wrestled forms
My hands are full of matches, my pockets full of plans
I need a quiet minute and a map between my hands
If I seem to disappear, I’m fighting to return
There’s a crowded little engine in me, always set to turn
[Final Chorus]
Look at me, look at me, I’m right here, I’m coming through
The room may split a hundred ways, but I will find my way to you
Let the kettle cool, let the unanswered letters soar
I can choose one doorway, I don’t need them all at once anymore
Look at me, look at me, I’m reaching through the roar
[Outro]
One cup, one page, one promise on the floor
I’m here—stay with me—one thing more
