Paper Over Heart

I clock in early

Stay long past dark

I keep a full inbox

You keep a full heart

I stack more meetings

Than I need to take

If I keep moving

I won’t have to break

Don’t ask me

What I’m running from

I got no room

For what I’ve done

If I go faster

Maybe it won’t show

Maybe the quiet

Won’t let you know

I stay busy, busy

So I don’t feel this

I stay busy, busy

That’s how I deal with it

One more task, one more call

Keep my hands full, keep my walls up tall

I stay busy, busy

So I don’t feel this (don’t feel this)

Eat at my desk now

Sleep on the train

Got a fresh planner

Still can’t explain

Why your last message

Sits in my chest

I read it over

Then bury the rest

Don’t ask me

What I’m running from

I got no room

For what I’ve done

If I go faster

Maybe it won’t show

Maybe the quiet

Won’t let you know

I stay busy, busy

So I don’t feel this

I stay busy, busy

That’s how I deal with it

One more task, one more call

Keep my hands full, keep my walls up tall

I stay busy, busy

So I don’t feel this (don’t feel this)

When the room goes still

I hear your name

And all my excuses

Start to fade

If I let go once

I might fall through

I made a whole life

Out of missing you

I stay busy, busy

So I don’t feel this

I stay busy, busy

That’s how I deal with it

One more task, one more call

Keep my hands full, keep my walls up tall

I stay busy, busy

So I don’t feel this (don’t feel this)
