Lyrics

I'm smaller than the morning
When the curtains barely move
But I'm here enough
To hear the kettle sing
I watched the rain
Gather on the glass
One drop holding longer
Than it had to
Then it passed
The street kept taking people
In and out of view
Like being seen
Was never part of the deal we knew
I made my tea too dark
And drank it anyway
Stood in the kitchen
Where the light fell thin and grey
Some days I feel
Like a note in someone's pocket
Folded too many times
Locked in an old locket
I don't intend
To become the weather
I don't intend
To fill the room
There's a distinct force
In keeping my shape
When the world keeps pushing me
To move
I walk below
The shadow of the buildings
And I know exactly
Where my feet have been
The morning sun
Operates without my permission
Still I look up
And notice the design
There's a weight in me
Quiet as the floorboards
A little sound
That knows its name
No need to be the thunder
In the distance
I can be small
And still remain
I used to think
I had to turn into something brighter
Something people could point to
From far away
But flowers don't ask
If the field understands them
They keep their color
Through the day
I took the longer road home
Without a reason
Counted three streetlights
And the sound of my shoes
Nothing opened up
No message from above me
Just me getting through
What I said I couldn't choose
I don't intend
To become the answer
I don't intend
To look brand new
There's a distinct force
In keeping my shape
When the world keeps pushing me
To move
I walk below
The shadow of the buildings
And I know exactly
Where my feet have been
The morning sun
Operates without my permission
Still I look up
And notice the design
There's a weight in me
Quiet as the floorboards
A little sound
That knows its name
No need to be the thunder
In the distance
I can be small
And still remain
I don't need the room
To turn around
I don't need the ceiling
To rise
I have lived through days
That never made a sound
And still
I carried them outside
Not bigger
Not louder
Not suddenly saved
Just a small thing
With a pulse
Learning the weight
Of its own name
I walk below
The shadow of the buildings
And I know exactly
Where my feet have been
The morning sun
Operates without my permission
Still I look up
And notice the design
There's a weight in me
Quiet as the floorboards
A little sound
That knows its name
No need to be the thunder
In the distance
I can be small
And still remain
I'm smaller than the morning
When the curtains barely move
But I'm here enough
To hear the kettle sing
