Line

I saw your text through notifications and swiped away
Cuz I didn't know how to respond
Sat for an hour at the piano because for once
I wasn't sure how to write a song
I know something's wrong, but it's alright
It'll all work out in due time
Just gimme 30 minutes cuz I'm drafting replies
Throw me a line
Replaying events in my head over and over again figuring out what I did
Both of us struggling and procrastinating
Coming to terms with the fact that we're not kids
Anymore, but it's alright
Everyone has to turn off the nightlight sometimes
Throw me a line

I've learned to love in the ways I hadn't known how to yet
So it makes sense that the one who taught me's the one I don't wanna forget
I know we're grown up now
But the thing about time is that over it you get attached
I hope you can understand that
I've learned that I can

I missed your call due to the fears of things being said
Where I wouldn't be sure how to react
Got some good guesses but I'm pretty confident by the end
My feelings wouldn't be intact
I don't know for fact, I might just be insecure
Paranoia's a stranger that I've met before
I'm debating redialling but I'm feeling quite torn
Cuz what would it be for

I've learned to love in the ways I hadn't known how to yet
So it makes sense that the one who taught me's the one I don't wanna forget
I know we're grown up now
But the thing about time is that over it you get attached
I hope you can understand that
I've learned that I can

Showed up at your doorstep because whatever happened
We'd both benefit from the face to face
Nothing's even happened but my fingers are trembling
And I'm prepared to make my case
You open the door, you look really nice
You look at my face, you look in my eyes
A moment of embrace, you'd already realised
And you ask if I wanna stay the night
We talk it out, realise we both got overwhelmed
Just at different moments in time
I'm sorry if I caused yours, and you're sorry if you caused mine
I guess we're fine, but you say not to guess
Wouldn't I rather be sure instead
As we lay on your bed
For once, I'll let you get in my head
Breathe in through the nose and take a deep sigh
I know we're fine
Breathe in through the nose and take a deep sigh
I might not need that line
