Put It Out

[Verse 1]
The sink starts spitting, the phone won’t quit
A deadline’s smoking at the edge of the list
You say my name from the next room over
I set one thing down, take the next one closer

[Pre-Chorus]
Don’t feed the panic, don’t fan the flame
Find the hot spot, call it by name
One clear breath, one steady hand
I can meet the mess where I stand

[Chorus]
Put it out, put it out, one fire at a time
Keep my head, keep my hands, keep the waterline
When the whole day catches, I don’t have to run
Put it out, put it out—then I face the next one

[Verse 2]
The car won’t start and the rent is due
A hard word lands like a match in a room
I turn the tap off, make the call I owe
There’s a way through this; I move it slow

[Pre-Chorus]
Don’t feed the panic, don’t fan the flame
Find the hot spot, call it by name
One clear breath, one steady hand
I can meet the mess where I stand

[Chorus]
Put it out, put it out, one fire at a time
Keep my head, keep my hands, keep the waterline
When the whole day catches, I don’t have to run
Put it out, put it out—then I face the next one

[Bridge]
Not every alarm is mine to answer
Not every spark becomes a disaster
I draw the line, I choose the order
Save what I can; don’t cross the water

[Final Chorus]
Put it out, put it out, one fire at a time
Keep my head, keep my hands, keep the waterline
When the whole day catches, I don’t have to run
Put it out, put it out—then I face the next one

[Outro]
One clear breath
One steady hand
The next thing waits
I know where I stand
