I Name the Room

[Verse 1]
I lose the thread halfway through the day
A room full of doors, and I forget the way
I count the cracks beside the kitchen sink
Try to catch the thought before it slips from reach

[Pre-Chorus]
Then one small thing holds still
Your note folded on the sill
“Come back to what you know”
I read it slow

[Chorus]
When I get lost inside my mind
I follow one true thing at a time
The kettle clicks, the window shakes
I name the room, I feel the floor beneath me
When every thought runs out of line
I take your hand and borrow mine
No map, no answer all at once
Just one next step, and then another

[Verse 2]
The bus stop sign is bent above the road
I watch the number change, let the minutes go
You tell me what the afternoon was like
I find my place again in your reply

[Pre-Chorus]
A breath against the glass
A little room for this to pass
I don’t have to know
The whole way home

[Chorus]
When I get lost inside my mind
I follow one true thing at a time
The kettle clicks, the window shakes
I name the room, I feel the floor beneath me
When every thought runs out of line
I take your hand and borrow mine
No map, no answer all at once
Just one next step, and then another

[Bridge]
If I can’t see beyond the bend
Stay close, don’t make me understand
Say my name, then let it land
I’m here, I’m here, I’m here again

[Chorus]
When I get lost inside my mind
I follow one true thing at a time
The kettle clicks, the window shakes
I name the room, I feel the floor beneath me
When every thought runs out of line
I take your hand and borrow mine
No map, no answer all at once
Just one next step, and then another

[Outro]
One next step
Then another
I’m here again
