The Worries To Impress

[Verse 1] You wore that look again Like a tie pulled too tight Counting every word Like a bill in your hand I watched you square your shoulders At the grocery light Trying to look like calm In a room full of plans [Pre-Chorus] But your eyes keep running To the edge of the frame Your hands keep fidgeting With a name tag stain [Chorus] The worries to impress They sit so heavy The worries to impress Make your chest go ready Say my name, say it clean Let it be enough The worries to impress We can leave them up [Verse 2] You polished up your smile For the porch and the phone Folded up your truth Till it fit in your coat Even at the table You were miles from home Laughing with your mouth But not with your bones [Pre-Chorus] I know that pressure By the way it leans Like a screen door shaking In a summer breeze [Instrumental Break] [Chorus] The worries to impress They sit so heavy The worries to impress Make your chest go ready Say my name, say it clean Let it be enough The worries to impress We can leave them up [Bridge] Take off the good-cop face Take off the borrowed grace You don’t have to earn A seat at this place I like the rough edges I like the true things I like the version That finally breathes [Final Chorus] The worries to impress They sit so heavy The worries to impress But you look steady Say my name, say it clean Let it be enough The worries to impress We can leave them up The worries to impress The worries to impress The worries to impress Let them fall off us <Outro>
