[Intro] I said yes before I checked my own name Now every room wants a piece of the same [Verse 1: Female] Tuesday, blue mug, cold tea by the sink Three unread plans and I forgot how to think Mara needs a ride, the launch needs a slide I keep every promise with myself denied My calendar’s crowded, my chest feels spare I know everybody’s weather, not what’s in my air Tell me, when did giving turn into a test? I’ve been everybody’s answer, nowhere to rest [Pre-Chorus: Female] I don’t need another list to complete I need one honest minute with me [Chorus: Duet] Where did I go when I gave it all away? Which small spark is mine beneath the names I play? I can love you, I can build, I can still draw a line Bring me back to the beat of a heart that is mine [Verse 2: Male Rap] Four tabs open, five favors, two plans in the air I’m the guy who says “I got it” like the answer is there Every project wears my jacket, every deadline knows my face But the thing I used to do for joy got moved out of its place So I’m shutting down the extra, letting one thing wait If I’m useful every second, I’m a ghost with a full plate You don’t lose yourself at once, it’s a borrow here and there I’m calling back my hours; I’m allowed to keep a share [Pre-Chorus: Female] I don’t need another list to complete I need one honest minute with me [Chorus: Duet] Where did I go when I gave it all away? Which small spark is mine beneath the names I play? I can love you, I can build, I can still draw a line Bring me back to the beat of a heart that is mine [Bridge: Female then Male] I liked the crooked little songs I made alone The paint on my sleeve, the walk back home I’ll leave one hour with no one to impress And let the quiet tell me what comes next [Final Chorus: Duet, stacked harmonies and ad-libs] There you are, I can feel you coming back my way One clear yes, one kind no, one choice I get to make I can love you, I can build, and keep a life that’s mine Step by step I hear the beat of a heart that’s mine That’s mine, that’s mine [Outro] One hour, one page, one breath at a time I’m not just what I give; I’m still mine
