Get all myself together now

I left my name in the hallway light

Shoes by the door, heart out of time

Your shadow still on my coffee cup

And I pretend that it's enough

I keep rehearsing ordinary peace

Counting my breaths like rosary beads

If I don't reach for what I miss

Will my hands learn what silence is

Don't touch the wound - just let it close

Don't chase the spark - just hold the smoke

I'm tired of living half-unmade

I'm tired of promises I break

I'm gonna get all myself together now

Piece by piece, without a sound

No more leaning on a maybe

No more drowning in the crowd

I'm gonna get all myself together now

Steady hands, steady mouth

If love comes back, it finds me breathing

Not scattered on the floor somehow

I folded days into thinner sheets

Slept on the edge of what we could be

Your laughter lives in the radiator

Warmth with no owner, sweet and fatal

I watched my thoughts run out of room

Like little birds against a window's bloom

So I unlatched the frame, let in the cold

To make a place for something whole

Don't beg the past to change its mind

Don't pay with sleep to buy more time

I'm learning how to stay with me

When lonely starts to feel like clean

I'm gonna get all myself together now

Piece by piece, without a sound

No more leaning on a maybe

No more drowning in the crowd

I'm gonna get all myself together now

Steady hands, steady mouth

If love comes back, it finds me breathing

Not scattered on the floor somehow

Say my name, then let it go

Like a ribbon in slow snowfall

I don't need a perfect ending

I just need my pulse to stop pretending

I'm gonna get all myself together now

Feel the seams, then smooth them down

I'll be kind to my own weather

When the storm comes walking round
