[Verse 1] I keep a chair for every passing face A little room, a little borrowed grace You ask me where my yes is meant to land I open up my hands; they fill again [Pre-Chorus] I wish the heart came with a narrow door One name to hold, not every name before I’m tired of scattering what I can’t spare And calling it love because it’s there [Chorus] I wish love were simple, one clear place to go One steady hand, one seed I get to sow I want my heart in focus, not split wide open Not giving every piece away unspoken Let me choose you with the whole of me Let this one love be what I mean [Verse 2] I learn your quiet, how you fold your sleeves The little pause before you say you’ll leave But every hurt I meet still pulls my thread I pour myself out till there’s nothing left [Pre-Chorus] I wish the heart came with a narrow door One name to hold, not every name before I’m tired of scattering what I can’t spare And calling it love because it’s there [Chorus] I wish love were simple, one clear place to go One steady hand, one seed I get to sow I want my heart in focus, not split wide open Not giving every piece away unspoken Let me choose you with the whole of me Let this one love be what I mean [Bridge] If I can’t save every face I see I can still stay where you need me I can stop mistaking every ache For a promise that I have to make [Final Chorus] I wish love were simple, one clear place to go One steady hand, one seed I get to sow I want my heart in focus, held and chosen A door that opens, not a life left broken Let me choose you with the whole of me Let this one love be what I mean [Outro] One clear place to go One heart, one home
