[Verse 1]
There is not quite enough of you
So I ration what I get
Sip you slow like winter sun
Burn my mouth and call it blessed
And so the hardening begins
Little shields along the rib
I was open like a window
Now I'm welded at the hinge
You say stopping isn’t leaving
But it feels like getting cut
Like the timing hit a pothole
Spilled us both into the dust
[Chorus]
The stopping feels like falling behind you
Like I tripped on every maybe that you threw
You walk on, I’m stuck in the echo of your shoes
There is not quite enough of you
(never was, never was)
The stopping feels like falling behind you
Running in a dream, heavy feet, same view
You float forward, I freeze in the truth
There is not quite enough of you
(never was, never was)
[Verse 2]
You text once, I stretch it weekly
Turn a crumb into a feast
Hang a promise on my ceiling
Watch it peel above my sleep
I keep shrinking expectations
Fold them smaller, paper cranes
Let them circle ‘round my bedroom
Till they crash into the frame
So I practice being empty
Fill the silence with my name
Teach my heart to beat in private
Teach my hands to drop the blame
[Chorus]
The stopping feels like falling behind you
Like I tripped on every maybe that you threw
You walk on, I’m stuck in the echo of your shoes
There is not quite enough of you
(never was, never was)
The stopping feels like falling behind you
Running in a dream, heavy feet, same view
You float forward, I freeze in the truth
There is not quite enough of you
(never was, never was)
