Somewhere To Stand

[Intro] One drawer One dish One light turned on [Verse 1] There’s a cup by the sink with a ring in the bottom Mail on the table I’ve been stepping around Dust on the shelf where the picture got crooked T-shirt on the chair like a body worn out Nothing here is tragic Nothing here is wild Just a slow accumulation Of every unslept night [Pre-Chorus] I used to call it normal Used to let it pile Like if the room stayed scattered I wouldn’t have to look inside [Chorus] I need somewhere to stand Somewhere my weight can land A little less noise A little less drift A little more room inside my ribs Somewhere to stand That’s all I’m trying to make Not perfect, not clean Just steady enough For me to stay [Verse 2] So I wash one glass and I fold one shirt Open one window and let the cold in Move the shoes from the doorway, clear off the counter Sweep up the corners I stopped seeing And it’s strange how the smallest things Can pull the day back through Like maybe order is not control Maybe it’s care in a visible form [Pre-Chorus] I don’t need a new life I don’t need a grand design Just one honest room That doesn’t fight me all the time [Chorus] I need somewhere to stand Somewhere my weight can land A little less noise A little less drift A little more room inside my ribs Somewhere to stand That’s all I’m trying to make Not perfect, not clean Just steady enough For me to stay [Bridge] I used to think healing Would look like a flood Like one clean answer Like a switch thrown somewhere in the blood But maybe it looks like this A bed made badly A floor I can see A hand that stops shaking Long enough To put one thing back where it belongs [Final Chorus] I found somewhere to stand Somewhere my weight can land A little less noise A little less drift A little more air inside my chest Somewhere to stand Not borrowed, not staged Just quiet enough Strong enough For me to stay [Outro] One drawer One dish One light turned on
