lyrics

i move through the party
sometimes myself but mostly just traveling
tread lightly but talk loud
weave through the people
feels like so long since i've really seen you

i'm crunching the numbers
counting the blocks from the bus to your stairwell
tread lightly and text to
see if I'll make it
I could just tell you to wait but i'd rather
carve out the shape of it
i hold it close
and feel the shame of it

i wonder
would you do this too
who taught you
to take such good care of yourself

step out of the cold to
steep in the bus light
shifting my weight in the seat for the whole ride
you're not one to wait up
still i am hopeful
know that at least i can trust you to leave
the door open

i'm digging a hole
you'd never follow me through
who taught you
to be alone with yourself

i find you
collapsed in your bed
asleep like a kid
too big for a twin

i turn all the lights out
crawl into your bed and
take care to fold myself around you
