[Verse 1] I left my coat at Mira’s place My notebook in the studio sink Three half-built plans, six open tabs And no spare hour to stop and think I know the names you need from me I know the promises by heart But when the room goes quiet now I can’t tell where I end or start [Pre-Chorus] I’ve given every little piece away Till even my own yes sounds borrowed [Chorus] I’ve been scattered through the hands I tried to hold In the plans I swore I’d finish, in the stories I was told If I peel away the favors, all the versions I perform Will I find the little engine that was turning before the storm? I’m looking for the thing that makes me move Some honest spark I used to know as mine [Verse 2] A calendar with colored squares A voice memo I forgot to play The garden’s asking for some water The draft has waited since last May You say, “Come over, we’ll catch up” I say, “Of course,” then check the time I miss the way I used to wander Without a reason or a deadline [Pre-Chorus] I’ve given every little piece away Till even my own yes sounds borrowed [Chorus] I’ve been scattered through the hands I tried to hold In the plans I swore I’d finish, in the stories I was told If I peel away the favors, all the versions I perform Will I find the little engine that was turning before the storm? I’m looking for the thing that makes me move Some honest spark I used to know as mine [Bridge] Maybe it’s the kettle before sunrise Maybe rain against the kitchen glass Maybe drawing crooked maps for nowhere Letting one unhurried hour pass I don’t need to solve the whole of me Just hear one small want and let it speak [Final Chorus] I’ve been scattered through the hands I tried to hold But I’m gathering the pieces without asking what they’re worth I can set one promise down, leave one empty square of time Let the quiet bring me back to what was mine before the climb I’m listening for the thing that makes me move A simple spark, a pulse I recognize [Outro] One small want One clear yes I’m still here Under all the rest
