[Verse 1] I learn the shape of every room The names beside the coat hooks You laugh about your cracked blue mug I keep the way your whole face looks At every stop, a different thread A different kind of tender I love the way you bite your lip The way you make December warmer [Pre-Chorus] I never meant to make a promise With every open hand But every heart I hold is precious And I don’t know where to stand [Chorus] I’m falling in love everywhere I go In a hundred ways that only you could know Each one a card, each one a home Stacked so high on hands that shake below If one slips, all the careful rooms come down And every heart I love is in the house I want to keep you safe, I want to let you go I’m fractured by the love I can’t make one [Verse 2] You save the seat beside the window She sends the songs at closing time He tells me things he’s never said And you bring peaches from the roadside stand No love is lesser, none a copy Each has its own small constellation But I can’t swear the cards won’t scatter When truth arrives without invitation [Pre-Chorus] I never meant to make a promise With every open hand But every heart I hold is precious And I don’t know where to stand [Chorus] I’m falling in love everywhere I go In a hundred ways that only you could know Each one a card, each one a home Stacked so high on hands that shake below If one slips, all the careful rooms come down And every heart I love is in the house I want to keep you safe, I want to let you go I’m fractured by the love I can’t make one [Bridge] I can hear the paper bending At the quietest goodbye I can see the whole room leaning Though nobody asks me why I don’t want to make you a secret I don’t want to make you compete I just wish my hands were steadier When the cards begin to leave [Breakdown] One for your kindness One for her fire One for the truth That I can’t retire [Final Chorus] I’m falling in love everywhere I go In a hundred ways that only you could know Each one a card, each one a home Built from every promise I don’t know how to hold If one slips, all the careful rooms come down And every heart I love can feel the ground I want to keep you safe, I want to tell the truth I’m fractured, but my love for you is true [Outro] Not one of you was ever less Not one of you was just a phase I love you each in your own language And I’m afraid of what that makes
