Make a Little Room

[Verse 1]
I count the rooms I never entered
Names I wore and left behind
Every answer grows a question
Tucked beneath the finish line

I keep a ledger in my pocket
Dates and debts and borrowed praise
But the ink runs through the numbers
When I look at my own face

[Pre-Chorus]
Tell me what remains
When the wanting loses shape
If I stop reaching out
Will I finally feel the weight

[Chorus]
I am more than what I gather
More than every door I move
There is breath beneath the pressure
There is time I haven't used

I don't need to solve the silence
I don't need to win the room
I can meet myself unfinished
And still make a little room

[Verse 2]
On the train beside the river
I watched warehouses turn gold
Someone laughed behind a window
Like a story being told

I had plans for every minute
Then the signal dropped away
For a moment nothing asked me
To become a better name

[Pre-Chorus]
Let the future wait
With its mouth full of demands
I can loosen every promise
I was gripping in my hands

[Chorus]
I am more than what I gather
More than every door I move
There is breath beneath the pressure
There is time I haven't used

I don't need to solve the silence
I don't need to win the room
I can meet myself unfinished
And still make a little room

[Bridge]
If the old ache calls me by number
I will let it ring twice
Put the kettle on the burner
Open up the blinds

No grand lesson, no surrender
Just my feet against the floor
I was looking past the present
It was waiting at the door

[Final Chorus]
I am more than what I gather
More than every door I move
There is breath beneath the pressure
There is time I haven't used

I don't need to solve the silence
I don't need to win the room
I can meet myself unfinished
And still make a little room

[Outro]
Still becoming, still awake
No finish line I have to chase
