[Verse 1] I made an entrance for an empty room checked my reflection like it owed me truth coat on my shoulder speech in my teeth big little moment too dressed to breathe I held my pose like a holy mistake then the elevator coughed in my face I almost laughed and the ceiling moved funny how small can cut right through [Pre-Chorus] For a second I was not the center for a second nothing broke [Chorus] less in the way and the room got wider less in the way and the light came through less in the way I didn’t disappear something moved when I moved too less in the way less in the way I stepped aside and the air came through [Verse 2] I had a reason for every scar kept every shadow in a glass jar named every silence kept every key made even breathing answer to me Then the cup spilled on my perfect line the door got stuck at the sacred sign I watched my drama miss its cue and there was space where I thought I was due [Pre-Chorus 2] For a second I forgot my story for a second it forgot me too [Chorus] less in the way and the room got wider less in the way and the light came through less in the way I didn’t disappear something moved when I moved too less in the way less in the way I stepped aside and the air came through [Post-Chorus] not gone not gone just less in the way not gone not gone just less in the way [Verse 3] I used to think I had to hold every little fire every piece of gold every wrong weather every almost-name every open door that refused the frame But water doesn’t ask who owns the glass light doesn’t stop to check my past wind doesn’t need my signature it moves right through when I let go first [Bridge] I wasn’t gone I was less in the way not erased just easier to hold I wasn’t nothing I was not so loud not lost just out of the crowd And maybe freedom isn’t breaking the chain maybe it’s laughing when it says your name maybe the self doesn’t have to die it just stops standing in front of the sky [Breakdown] small sound big room one breath came through no throne no proof just space and you [Final Chorus] less in the way and the room got wider less in the way and the light came through less in the way I didn’t disappear something moved when I moved too less in the way and the night got lighter less in the way and the floor felt new less in the way I stopped holding the river and somehow it carried me too [Outro] The cup stayed spilled. The door stayed stuck. I stood there laughing. Nothing was mine. Nothing was lost. And everything kept moving.
