[Verse 1] I keep the chipped blue cup you cracked The one you swore you'd throw away Some mornings I still talk too fast Some nights I let the dishes stay [Pre-Chorus] There you are in the glass again Tall and sure with a cleaner name I take one breath, let the kettle sing I don't have to become that thing [Chorus] I make room for the parts that don't behave For the tender nerve, for the stubborn stain That polished ghost can run ahead I have this life, this skin, this day I won't wait till I'm fixed to step outside I'll take my crooked heart along for the ride [Verse 2] I missed the call from my sister twice Then sent a photo of the rain She sent back her lopsided grin And asked me over just the same [Pre-Chorus] There you are with your measured words Never late and never lost I can hear you pacing down the hall But you don't get to name me all [Chorus] I make room for the parts that don't behave For the tender nerve, for the stubborn stain That polished ghost can run ahead I have this life, this skin, this day I won't wait till I'm fixed to step outside I'll take my crooked heart along for the ride [Bridge] At the sink, I let the warm water run My hands still shaking, the day's not done No grand reveal, no perfect start Just soap on my sleeve and a beating heart [Final Chorus] I make room for the parts that don't behave For the tender nerve, for the stubborn stain That polished ghost can run ahead I have this life, this skin, this day I won't wait till I'm fixed to step outside I'll take my crooked heart along for the ride [Outro] The cup still holds The morning comes I am not finished I am enough
