I'll bring your book at seven And stay until the kettle sings I type it on the second landing Add a heart and promise two more things One thread asks if Friday's free One says call when I get home I send yes before they finish No one I love should wait alone Floor by floor, the names light up I have time, I have enough Every voice can have a place I can bend the hours into shape Let me be the gravity No one I love is falling Every promise circles me I can hear the whole sky calling Pull the orbit close, close I have room for everyone Pull the orbit close, close Nobody falls alone I'll keep the spare key in my coat Bring the blue one, make the drive Move the dinner, take the late train I can be there every time My thumb runs on ahead of me Bright replies before the names I am halfway to the next door When the first one calls again Let me be the gravity No one I love is falling Every promise circles me I can hear the whole sky calling Pull the orbit close, close I have room for everyone Pull the orbit close, close Nobody falls alone Halfway down the stairwell My phone drums hard against my side Your name flashes through my pocket While I hold three plans in either hand One more landing, one more answer I can call back from the street By the time my hands are empty The screen is dark beneath my sleeve Let me be the gravity Every promise circles me I pulled the orbit too close Now the distance won't sit still All my promises are shining Your name is quiet on the screen I still have room for everyone I just missed where you would be
