[Verse 1 — plucked bass, crooked groove] I took an inch from every seam Cut up the coat that held my dreams You wanted velvet, then you wanted lace I stitched a smile across my face [Pre-Chorus — stacked whispers] You turn around and point again At one loose thread I didn't mend [Chorus — melodic, syncopated] Pin me down and measure twice Every fitting takes a slice You wear the colors I once wore Then ask me why there's nothing more I'd tear the pattern into snow And find a shape that's mine to know But everyone is dressed for winter In the fabric I would throw (Don't let go, don't let go) [Verse 2 — percussive bass] My own reflection wears a sheet An unfinished shape without a seam [Bridge — sparse piano] Does love require a perfect fit Or room enough to breathe in it? [Outro — soft harmonies] One more stitch beneath the light I dream in colors not yet mine
