[Verse 1] I keep two faces folded in my coat One brings the soup, one counts what I am owed The kind one holds the door against the wind The hungry one asks what the door could bring [Pre-Chorus] I made a promise, then I made a plan Both need my hands; I am only one man [Chorus] I want a life that fits the shape of me I want to stay for all the ones I love When every road pulls hard in opposite ways I carry them, and still I reach for more If happiness is somewhere I can stand Let it make room for every heart I am [Verse 2] Your blue cup waits beside the kitchen sink A school note curls beneath the grocery list I say, “I’m here,” and mean it every time Then hear the other life call from inside [Pre-Chorus] The good in me keeps watch beside the bed The selfish one keeps naming what I need [Chorus] I want a life that fits the shape of me I want to stay for all the ones I love When every road pulls hard in opposite ways I carry them, and still I reach for more If happiness is somewhere I can stand Let it make room for every heart I am [Bridge] I will not call my wanting a betrayal I will not call my duty all I am You are not weights I drag behind my living You are the hands that steady where I stand And if I stumble choosing how to balance Come close; I’ll listen, and begin again [Final Chorus] I want a life that fits the shape of me I want to stay for all the ones I love No clean divide between the heart and hunger No perfect answer written up above If happiness is somewhere we can stand Let it make room for every heart we are [Outro] Your blue cup waits; I’ll wash it when I’m home I’m still becoming. I am not alone.
