[Verse 1] I step, then I wait, then I step again The street tilts under the heel of my shoe A light goes green and I miss the gap Your name sits heavy between the two [Pre-Chorus] One breath held Two words stuck Three lights burn on the corner [Chorus] I keep coming back uneven Half a promise, then the rest You leave the door a little open I arrive a little less Turn the key, miss the middle Find you where the silence bends I keep coming back uneven Till the night forgets the end [Verse 2] Coffee cold on the windowsill Your coat still warm on the back of the chair I count the cracks in the kitchen tile And lose the count somewhere in there [Pre-Chorus] One glass rinsed Two plates stacked Three times I almost call [Chorus] I keep coming back uneven Half a promise, then the rest You leave the door a little open I arrive a little less Turn the key, miss the middle Find you where the silence bends I keep coming back uneven Till the night forgets the end [Bridge] Not broken, just biased Not lost, just late The long note in the middle Is where I hesitate [Final Chorus] I keep coming back uneven Half a promise, then the rest You leave the door a little open I arrive a little less Turn the key, miss the middle Find you where the silence bends I keep coming back uneven And the limp becomes the step
