The Light Is Changing Anyway

V6

[Verse 1] Today still has dust on it Little things I didn’t finish Words I meant to say Rooms in me I didn’t visit [Pre-Chorus] But there’s still light caught In strange little places On the edge of a glass Across the floor In the last good thought I almost missed [Chorus] The light is changing anyway The light is changing anyway I’ll let the evening find me Exactly where I am [Verse 2] Someone sees I already have permission Sunshine on my skin Starlight waiting its turn So I let the evening find me Exactly where I am Let the unfinished stay unfinished Let the almost be enough for now [Verse 3] There are tiny glints In what didn’t happen too Paths left open Answers not fixed A little room for possibility To keep wiggling through [Chorus] The light is changing anyway The light is changing anyway I’ll let the evening find me Exactly where I am [Verse 4] Tomorrow is somewhere On the other side of sleep Not waiting like a promise Just waiting like a door With light under it I don’t know what’s behind it [Bridge] Maybe rain turning the whole street silver Maybe news Maybe one small thing that catches me just right And changes the angle of everything Maybe nothing dramatic Maybe coffee, sun through a window A message arriving with a tiny pulse of glow [Verse 5] A different thought in the same old room And suddenly the room isn’t quite the same Maybe that’s how futures happen Not with trumpets, not all at once But in flickers A little opening A little shimmer Something ordinary catching the light differently [Chorus] Today says, this is what you carried Tomorrow says, you can set some of it down And somewhere between them There’s this strange bright seam Not quite then, not quite yet Just enough space For something new to sparkle into view [Outro] I won’t ask tomorrow to save me I won’t ask today to explain itself I’ll just stand here at the edge of both Still breathing, still curious Pockets full of little glints A bit of moon, a bit of static A few ridiculous sparks I decided to keep And one small light Maybe not so small now Coming with me
