The Pulse That Used to Move

[Verse 1]
I said yes before I checked the day
Left my own keys in somebody’s place
Ten tabs open, three names on my sleeve
A list of promises I meant to keep

[Pre-Chorus]
Now the room goes quiet, I don’t know
Which part of me is mine to hold

[Chorus]
Where did I go when I gave it all away?
Which small want still knows my name?
I’ve been everywhere that you needed me to be
Now I’m looking for the pulse that used to move in me

[Verse 2]
Your late-night call, the draft I never sent
The little shop, the plans, the rent
I learned each door, each borrowed point of view
And lost the simple things I used to choose

[Pre-Chorus]
Let the noise fall off; let the answer wait
I can start with one thing I still crave

[Chorus]
Where did I go when I gave it all away?
Which small want still knows my name?
I’ve been everywhere that you needed me to be
Now I’m looking for the pulse that used to move in me

[Bridge]
Maybe it’s the page I leave half-done
The long walk home before the morning comes
No grand return, no perfect sign
Just one honest yes that’s finally mine

[Final Chorus]
Here I am, though I gave it all away
There’s a small want learning how to stay
I’ve been everywhere that you needed me to be
Now I’m making room for what still moves in me

[Outro]
One thing I choose
One thing that’s true
