[Intro] Six in the morning Your phone’s still facedown A Million Made [Verse 1] Sun through the blinds, putting lines across the bed You’re awake beside me, but you haven’t moved yet Last night you left your phone beside the door Now it’s buzzing on the floor where you dropped your coat You reach for it, stop, and turn to look at me I can see you weighing what you want against what people see I’m not asking you to explain every name on your screen I’m asking where I stand when this room stops feeling like a dream I know how we got here: one post, one call Me outside your place with the rain against the car But I don’t want to make a life out of coming back at night And spending every morning wondering if you’ll change your mind [Pre-Chorus] Put the coffee on, let the daylight in We can talk without the music covering it You don’t owe me words you’re not ready to mean Just don’t reach for me to keep from feeling lonely [Hook] What happens when the phone rings? When somebody asks where you’ve been? Do I become a secret again After you held me like you’d let me in? I can stay and hear the hard thing I can leave if that’s what you need But look me in the eye when the phone rings Tell me where this leaves me [Verse 2] You say, “I didn’t post it thinking you would come” Then you smile a little, say, “I knew you were the one Who’d notice what I wrote and hear what I left out” I say, “That sounds like us, and that’s what worries me now” You’re quiet while the kettle starts to scream I turn it off; you finally tell me what you mean “You make me feel close, and close makes me afraid So I make it look like I’ve got nothing left to say” I lean against the counter, let the truth settle in I’ve done my share of running when it started getting real I won’t call you wrong for needing time to choose But I can’t keep finding out through everybody else’s view [Hook] What happens when the phone rings? When somebody asks where you’ve been? Do I become a secret again After you held me like you’d let me in? I can stay and hear the hard thing I can leave if that’s what you need But look me in the eye when the phone rings Tell me where this leaves me [Bridge] Your phone lights up against the tile You let it ring a little while Then you say, “I don’t know what we’ll be But I want you here to finish this coffee” That isn’t forever I know better than to call it that I pull out the chair across from you And we start talking where we’re at [Final Hook] The phone rings; you don’t hide me You don’t have to promise me a thing We’re just two people in a kitchen Saying what we mean If it gets hard, say the hard thing I’ll do the same when it’s my turn The phone goes quiet on the counter And we let the coffee burn [Outro] You laugh and reach for the stove I open up the window Morning comes in
