lyrics

I think I broke my wrist
The bones feel weak from shaking it
I'm tired of the anxiousness
I think I'd rather go home
The air is thinner there and I'm conditioned to believe
I'll feel better alone

There's something to appreciate
In breaking down on sunny days
In leaving socials right away
and finding peace in future things
'Cause tomorrow will be different
I saw it in a constellation
And maybe it's just a bad fit
I'll tell you in the morning

It's something in my brain, I think
Chemical, it runs too deep
I think I blame my parents' genes
Well, maybe I don't
But I've got words to keep
Places that I'd like to see
A happenstance we both might need
'Cause this heart is a home

Maybe I'm better because I worry
Maybe I'm better because I cry
Maybe there's strength in vulnerability
and I'll be sick until I die
Maybe there's room for hospitality
Maybe comfort to those in need
I hold it all within my heart
I hold it all within my heart

So long as I'm breathing
