It Leaves Me Notes Saying Thank You

[Instrumental Intro] [Vocal Sample] “Thank you.” [Verse 1] Found a note beside the bed Same handwriting, same black pen [Vocal Sample] “Thanks for letting me stay out.” Don’t remember writing it then Thought I did it half asleep Threw it out and went to work Next one waited by the sink [Vocal Sample] “Sorry if your shoulders hurt.” Checked the locks before I slept Put my phone beside the bed Woke up wearing different clothes [Vocal Sample] “Thanks again.” [Pre-Chorus] Maybe I walk around asleep Maybe stress can fuck with you Maybe hands remember habits Even when your head won’t move But if I’m writing all these notes Who am I thanking? And for who? [Vocal Sample] “Me.” [Chorus] It leaves me notes saying thank you Like I did it some kind of favor [Vocal Sample] “Thank you.” “Thanks for lending me your hands” “Sorry, I’ll return them later” [Vocal Sample] “Later... later... later...” It leaves me notes saying thank you Every morning, something new If I’m alone inside my body Who the fuck am I lending it to? [Vocal Sample] “You know.” [Verse 2] Found mud dried around my ankles Someone washed it from my shoes Three receipts from after midnight Nothing there I ever choose Bartender knew what I was drinking Said I stayed till half past three Said I tipped him, shook his hand Said, “You seemed happier to me” Asked him who I came in with [Vocal Sample] “Alone.” He laughed. “You came alone.” Then his face went kinda strange “You really don’t remember going home?” [Vocal Sample] “I remember.” [Pre-Chorus] Maybe I walk around asleep [Vocal Sample] “No.” Maybe stress can fuck with you [Vocal Sample] “No.” But sleepwalkers don’t make small talk They don’t know what strangers do And they probably don’t leave messages For someone living in them too [Vocal Sample] “I live here.” [Chorus] It leaves me notes saying thank you Like I did it some kind of favor [Vocal Sample] “You did.” “Thanks for lending me your hands” “Sorry, I’ll return them later” [Vocal Sample] “Maybe.” It leaves me notes saying thank you Every morning, something new If I’m alone inside my body Who the fuck am I lending it to? [Vocal Sample] “Me.” [Post-Chorus] [Vocal Sample] “Thank you.” [Vocal Sample] “Thank you.” [Vocal Sample] “Thank you.” [Vocal Sample] “For last night.” [Bridge] So I stayed awake till morning. Three fifteen. [Vocal Sample] “Still here.” Four twenty. [Vocal Sample] “Still here.” Five-oh-six. Nothing. I started laughing. Felt fucking stupid. [Vocal Sample] [laughs] Then I looked down. There was ink on my fingers. I hadn’t written anything. [Vocal Sample] “I know.” [Breakdown] Bathroom light Paper folded Same damn writing Already opened [Vocal Sample] “Thank you for staying awake.” I know you needed proof [Vocal Sample] “You needed proof.” You’ve been blaming this on sleeping [Vocal Sample] “So I stayed awake with you.” No. [Vocal Sample] “Yes.” No, no, no. [Vocal Sample] “Yes... yes... yes...” I read the bottom twice One more line beneath the rest [Vocal Sample] “You’re getting harder to put back.” [Instrumental Drop] [Final Chorus] It leaves me notes saying thank you [Vocal Sample] “Thank you.” Now I know who they’re addressed to [Vocal Sample] “Finally.” “Thanks for lending me your hands” Like my hands belong to two [Vocal Sample] “Ours.” It leaves me notes saying thank you And tonight I finally knew I’m not waking up with company I’m waking up when it is through [Vocal Sample] “Go back to sleep.” It leaves me notes saying thank you Every morning, fewer words Last one only had a sentence: [Vocal Sample] “Soon you won’t need to return.” [Instrumental Outro] [Vocal Sample] “Thank you.” [Vocal Sample] “You’re welcome.”
