[Verse 1]
Left my phone on face-down
Screen still buzzing in the dark, I let it ring
Half a slice on the counter
Cold coffee in a chipped blue mug, same old thing
You said, "You never answer"
But I been sinking in this secondhand couch
Ceiling crack like a roadmap
Tracing all the ways this night plays out
[Chorus]
Soft corners of the night
Where we talk like we got time
You say, "Tell me what you hide"
I just breathe and change the subject
Still you stay on the line
Soft corners of the night
You make all this heavy life
Feel like it might turn out alright
[Verse 2]
You laugh low through the speaker
Ask why my plants all lean toward the blinds
Guess they’re chasing little pieces
Of a sun I swear I barely ever find
You hum some song I should remember
Name stuck somewhere on the tip of my brain
I say, "Hold it right there"
Try to freeze this tiny moment from the rain
[Chorus]
[Bridge]
[whispered vocals]
If I fall asleep mid-sentence
Will you let the silence stay?
Or paint my quiet room
With all the words you’re scared to say?
[low vocal register]
If tomorrow feels too heavy
We can leave it for another day
Just breathing on the call
Till the dawn pulls you away
[Chorus]
