[Verse 1]
Brush my teeth in the dark
Phone lit up on the sink
Headlines
Birthday reminders
I feel everything
I think
Coffee burns
But I sip slow
Morning traffic in my chest
Somehow I made it this far
With a shaking kind of blessed
[Pre-Chorus]
Every little ordinary ache
Feels like proof I’m still awake
Hold my breath
Then I let it break
Into you
[Chorus]
This is a tender moment
And it terrifies me
Hands on my heart like it’s glass
Like it might leave
Laughing while I’m crying ’cause I finally see
I’m so damn small
And you still choose me
This is a tender moment
And it terrifies me
[Verse 2]
You trace stars on my back
Name the ones we’ll never know
Ask me what I’m most afraid of
I say
“Losing you
” too low
You say every life is borrowed
I hear clocks behind your words
I want forever and I’m grateful
I’m afraid of what that’s worth
[Pre-Chorus]
Every little ordinary touch
Feels like way too fierce a trust
If I lose it
Would that crush
Who I am?
[Chorus]
[Bridge]
If the sky goes out like a hallway light
If the sound cuts off in the middle of the line
If the story stops right here tonight
Would it be enough
That I was scared and still showed up?
[low vocal register] I was scared and still showed up
[Chorus]
