[Verse 1] Not trying to guess Or pin it down too fast Just watching the room breathe Under the station glass The kettle clicks off At 6:12 a.m. Shoelaces on the floor Your coat over the chair again [Pre-Chorus] I don't need a map I just need the street names Let the day come in With its chipped paint, loose change [Chorus] Not trying to guess Not forcing a shape Let it stay a question For the length of the train If it wants to be clear It can find its own way I'm here with both hands open Not trying to name it yet [Verse 2] The corner shop man Knows my order by heart Tomatoes in a paper bag Cold milk, a scratch in the glass Kids cut across 8th With backpacks and thin laughs The bus leans to the curb Like it already knows my past [Pre-Chorus] I don't need a sign I don't need a warning Some things arrive quiet And stay through the morning [Chorus] Not trying to guess Not forcing a shape Let it stay a question For the length of the train If it wants to be clear It can find its own way I'm here with both hands open Not trying to name it yet [Bridge] There are names people use Like locks on a door I tried them on once They never fit before So I leave the latch loose I leave the porch light low Let the wind move through Let the whole thing go slow [Final Chorus] Not trying to guess Not forcing a shape Let it stay a question For the length of the train If it wants to be clear It can find its own way I'm here with both hands open Not trying to name it yet [Outro] Not trying to guess Or figure things out yet
