[Verse 1] You found me sleeping with the windows open. I haven't done that in years. You touch my shoulder and I don't wake up frightened— I just move closer. Funny what becomes a miracle when nobody knows it is. You think I'm getting better. Maybe I am. There are things in me that have been quiet since you came around. I try not to wonder why. [Hook] If I go somewhere you can't follow— say my name. The way you say it now. Not careful. Not afraid. Just— say my name. [Verse 2] I like what a door sounds like here. Just wood. Just hinges. You coming home. Sometimes you say something harmless and my heart gets there before I do. Half a second. Maybe less. Then you're you again. And I'm here. And whatever almost happened doesn't. You never notice. I kiss you before you can. [Bridge] Someday you might. You might find me awake at four in the morning listening to nothing. I might ask you what's wrong when nothing is. Look at your face like it belongs to somebody else. There are kindnesses my body still mispronounces. There are old rooms with very good locks. And lately— I can't tell if they're empty or if I've just stopped going in. [Hook] So if I go somewhere you can't follow— say my name. The way you say it now. Not louder. Not softer. Just— the same. [Chorus] Say my name like I'm still here. Like five bad minutes can't undo a year. Like whatever you see when the light gets strange doesn't make the woman in your arms someone else. Don't ask me where I went. Don't follow me there. Stay where you are. I'll find you. Just say my name the way you say it now— like you still mean me. [End]
