Home Inside This Bone

Lyrics

[Verse 1] I left one cup beside the sink Out of habit, not because I think You’ll turn the handle, call my name Or ask me why I missed the train [Pre-Chorus] The apartment settles into place I meet the quiet face to face [Chorus] Alone, but not disappearing I can hear my own heart clearing Every room I used to fill for two Has a little space to let me through Alone, and learning how to stay With the person I kept giving away If the morning finds me on my own I’ll make a home inside this bone [Verse 2] I fold the blanket, open blinds Put the scattered hours back in line A letter waits beneath the door I don’t need to be afraid anymore [Pre-Chorus] The kettle hums, the windows shine A small life slowly turning mine [Chorus] Alone, but not disappearing I can hear my own heart clearing Every room I used to fill for two Has a little space to let me through Alone, and learning how to stay With the person I kept giving away If the morning finds me on my own I’ll make a home inside this bone [Bridge] I thought the silence meant I’d lost Now I know what silence costs It asks me not to run or hide Just to sit here on my side [Final Chorus] Alone, but not disappearing There’s a steady voice worth hearing Every road I thought I had to prove Starts beneath my feet when I move Alone, and finally awake With a little more than I can take If the morning finds me on my own I’ll make a home inside this bone [Outro] One cup waiting by the sink I smile at what I used to think
