The Kettle Clicks

V6

[Verse 1] I count the cracks across the kitchen tile Each one a road that bends and breaks in half The kettle clicks; I lose the thread again Your note still waits beside the medicine [Pre-Chorus] I try to sort the names inside my head They rush like cards thrown hard across the bed [Chorus] The chaos in my mind won’t hold its shape A thousand doors, and none of them escape You say my name; I find the floor again Stay here with me until the rush can end [Verse 2] The clock skips forward, then it starts to crawl A paper cup rolls slowly down the hall I press my palms against the table grain And let one small thing stay the same [Pre-Chorus] I try to sort the names inside my head They rush like cards thrown hard across the bed [Chorus] The chaos in my mind won’t hold its shape A thousand doors, and none of them escape You say my name; I find the floor again Stay here with me until the rush can end [Bridge] Don’t fix me with a perfect sentence Just sit beside me in the kitchen If I go quiet, keep the kettle near One ordinary sound can bring me here [Final Chorus] The chaos in my mind won’t hold its shape A thousand doors, and none of them escape You say my name; I find the floor again Stay here with me until the rush can end [Outro] The kettle clicks I’m still here
