Let the Weather Move Through

[Verse 1]
Some days arrive with a weight in the room
No bad news, no reason, no change
I wash one cup and leave it by the sink
Let the afternoon stay strange

I answer your message with a single word
Then set the phone face down
Nothing broke, but something in me
Keeps asking not to be found

[Pre-Chorus]
I don't need a name for it
I don't need to know
I can let the feeling sit
Until it starts to go

[Chorus]
If I feel sad for no clear reason
I’ll let the weather move through me
No fixing it, no perfect meaning
Just wait until I can breathe

If I feel low when the day is ordinary
I won’t turn it into a verdict
I’ll keep the light on in the kitchen
And wait for the room to lift

[Verse 2]
The laundry hums behind the bathroom door
A blue shirt hangs from the chair
I watch the minute hand cross the wall
And practice staying there

You ask me if I want to talk tonight
I say, “Maybe, not yet”
Some kinds of hurt are passing trains
Not promises I have to keep

[Pre-Chorus]
I don't need a name for it
I don't need to know
I can let the feeling sit
Until it starts to go

[Chorus]
If I feel sad for no clear reason
I’ll let the weather move through me
No fixing it, no perfect meaning
Just wait until I can breathe

If I feel low when the day is ordinary
I won’t turn it into a verdict
I’ll keep the light on in the kitchen
And wait for the room to lift

[Bridge]
Maybe morning will be easier
Maybe it will take a while
I can leave the door unlocked
For one small returning smile

I am more than this hour
More than the thought in my head
The heart can lose its balance
And find the floor again

[Final Chorus]
If I feel sad for no clear reason
I’ll let the weather move through me
No fixing it, no perfect meaning
Just wait until I can breathe

If I feel low when the day is ordinary
I won’t turn it into a verdict
I’ll keep the light on in the kitchen
And wait for the room to lift

[Outro]
The cup is still beside the sink
The blue shirt still hangs there
Nothing has to change this minute
I’m here, and I can bear
