The Page Can Wait
[Verse 1] I made a list on the back of a receipt Crossed out the calls, then the sink started to leak The laundry’s folded, but the floor needs sweeping I shut the door and hear tomorrow speaking [Pre-Chorus] Every little finish opens up a new beginning How do I know when I can stop? [Chorus] Will I ever get it all done? Will the last small task give way to the sun? I keep reaching for the moment when the running is through But the list keeps growing while I’m getting to you Will I ever get it all done? [Verse 2] There’s a form on the table, a light left on A message I’ve been meaning to answer all week long I tell myself, just one more thing, then I’ll rest But the next thing’s waiting in the corner of my desk [Pre-Chorus] Every little finish opens up a new beginning How do I know when I can stop? [Chorus] Will I ever get it all done? Will the last small task give way to the sun? I keep reaching for the moment when the running is through But the list keeps growing while I’m getting to you Will I ever get it all done? [Bridge] Maybe done is not a place I arrive at Maybe it’s a breath in the middle of the day A cup left warm, your hand in mine A little unfinished, and still we’re okay [Final Chorus] Will I ever get it all done? Maybe not, but I can still choose someone Let the last small task wait while I’m here with you There’s a life in the spaces the list can’t get through Will I ever get it all done? Maybe this moment can be enough [Outro] The page can wait till morning I’m here, and that is something
