Well, There Goes My Plan

I finally got my life arranged

The books were shelved, the plants alive

Stopped checking every notification

Stopped wondering who’d arrive

I learned to eat at restaurants

Without leaving one seat free

Made peace with all the empty spaces

Thought they’d always be for me

Then you walked in

Like bad timing does

Like the universe looked down

And started laughing just because

It figures, it figures

Right when I’m doing fine

It figures, it figures

You’d show up and change my mind

I spent years learning how to be

Comfortable on my own

It figures, it figures

Now I don’t want to go home

I deleted all the dating apps

Forgot the passwords too

Told my friends, “If love comes looking

Tell it I’ve got things to do”

Bought a bigger couch for movie nights

Just me, a blanket, and a cat

Started saying things like, “Honestly?

I’m pretty good with where I’m at”

Then you sat down

Like you owned the place

And asked if anybody ever told me

I had a dangerous face

There was that laugh

There was that look

There was the way you’d steal my fries

There was the night

You fell asleep

With your head against my side

There was the moment

I caught myself

Saving stories just for you

And if I’m being honest

I knew

It figures, it figures

Right when I’m doing fine

It figures, it figures

You’d show up and change my mind

I spent years learning how to be

Comfortable on my own

It figures, it figures

Now home is where you are
