[Verse 1] I said yes before I checked the week Three names waiting while the kettle screams Your message folded under meeting notes A half-built plan inside my winter coat I keep a place for every version of me None of them can sleep [Pre-Chorus] You ask where I have been I’m everywhere but here I hold the door for every dream Then disappear [Chorus] I can’t be every hand you reach for Can’t keep every promise in the air I’ve been splitting up my heart till it’s paper-thin Trying to be enough everywhere If I let one thing fall, will you still know me? If I choose one road, will the others close? I can’t be every hand you reach for I’m learning what my two hands hold [Verse 2] There’s a birthday card I never sent A bright new scheme with the corners bent Your old blue mug beside the sink I forgot to ask what you really think I keep saying soon like it’s a place I can reach at any pace [Pre-Chorus] You ask where I have been I’m everywhere but here I hold the door for every dream Then disappear [Chorus] I can’t be every hand you reach for Can’t keep every promise in the air I’ve been splitting up my heart till it’s paper-thin Trying to be enough everywhere If I let one thing fall, will you still know me? If I choose one road, will the others close? I can’t be every hand you reach for I’m learning what my two hands hold [Bridge] Let the distant plans stay distant Let the unanswered wait a while I’ll meet you here, with both feet planted No grand rescue, just my time [Final Chorus] I can’t be every hand you reach for But I can meet you standing there No more splitting up my heart till it’s paper-thin No more promising everywhere If I let one thing fall, I’ll say I’m sorry If I choose one road, I’ll walk it slow I can’t be every hand you reach for I’m learning what my two hands hold [Outro] One room, one hour Your face, your name I’m here now I’m here now
