[Verse 1]
I woke up tired again
Like I never went to sleep
The cup on the counter
Went cold before I could reach
Yesterday’s little joys
Feel locked behind the glass
I held the book I loved
And let it fall right back
[Pre-Chorus]
I can point at one thing
And the rest go dark
I can hold one thought
Then I lose the chart
[Chorus]
One thing only
That’s all I can hold
One thing only
And I’m shut off, I know
One thing only
I drift from the room
One thing only
And I miss you too soon
[Verse 2]
At dinner I smile late
After the joke moves on
My sister asks me twice
And I still hear it wrong
I’m there but not all there
Like a light with low flame
I keep my eyes on the plate
So I don’t have to explain
[Pre-Chorus]
I can point at one thing
And the rest go dark
I can hold one thought
Then I lose the chart
[Chorus]
One thing only
That’s all I can hold
One thing only
And I’m shut off, I know
One thing only
I drift from the room
One thing only
And I miss you too soon
[Bridge]
If you call my name
Wait a little longer
I’m not gone on purpose
I’m just trying to recover
I want the old easy
The laugh, the spark, the play
But it slips through my fingers
When I try to make it stay
[Chorus]
One thing only
That’s all I can hold
One thing only
And I’m shut off, I know
One thing only
I drift from the room
One thing only
And I miss you too soon
[Outro]
I’m here, I’m here
Just not all at once
One thing only
Till the day feels soft again
