Lean In 03:38
I can hear the sound through the walls And I’m on the outside No windows no doors Now I’m the one with the light I played the hand I was dealt I’m a high dollar liquor on the bottom shelf I cast a hundred lines With no reply With no reply Can I lean in Can I lean a little closer Can I lean a little clo——-ser Oh Oh Oh I’m in a crowded room no matter what I do I have no equity in a masterpiece Can I lean in Can I lean a little closer Can I lean a little clo——-ser Can I lean in Can I lean a little clo——-ser Can I lean a little closer Can I Lean in Can I lean in Can I lean in Oh Oh

MMMMM MMMMM MMMMM MMMMM I’m not convinced moving again Will help me settle my mind I didn’t notice my shadow when I wanted the sun Warmth in my bed or in the soul of someone My arm’s in a sling for a couple more weeks And my favorite mug is shattered in the sink Joel’s cigarettes blow across the yard I’m going on a walk but I wanna runnnnnnnnnnn MMMMM MMMMM I can’t make myself Oh I can’t make myself I can’t make myself love this I have what I need Time slows down for me But I can’t make myself love this Love this MMMMM MMMMM I bit my nails too short again I brought home a cat and I didn’t ask All my mail is unopened in piles And I’m taking long showers till the water runs out There’s only one leaf left hanging on the tree I’ll wait till it falls to rake up the leaves I’m scared to leave but I’m more afraid to stay If I stay will everything stay the same MMMMM MMMMM I can’t make myself Oh I can’t make myself Oh I can’t make myself love this I have what I need Times slowed down for me But I can’t make myself love this Love this MMMMM MMMMM MMMMM MMMMM Don’t look Don’t Speak Don’t Look away from me Don’t look Don’t Speak Don’t Look away from me Don’t look Don’t Speak Don’t Look away from me MMMM MMMM

There’s a green exit sign Over a red door But you lean on The cards you draw See Saw See Saw Like a migratory bird That tried to stay Saturn returned and went away Ahhhh Drummer drummer Forward seems so far from you Bummer Bummer Half of me and all of you Five more leaves Since I showed up Ahhhh You’ve got the locks and the keys I think that your worst enemy Looks a lot like you I will wash the sheets I will make the bed Then wait for you to knock again Ahhh Drummer drummer Forward seems so far from you Bummer Bummer Half of me and all of you Five more leaves Since I showed up A mile a minute with a light load But I can’t keep hiding what I’m running from You lent me shade and vitamins Rare coins and extended stays High fives instead of handshakes Hell is real and you lived to tell I felt and seen it in the hands I’ve held Five more leaves since I showed up Five more leaves since I showed up Five more leaves since I showed up Ahhhh Five more leaves since I showed up Five more leaves Five more leaves Ahhh

Save me a seat at the table I promise to laugh at your jokes I've been thinking about the time I wish I owned but its borrowed Yellow when I close my eyes Blue like tomorrow Red like an obituary A postcard that I never sent I have a hard time letting go I have a hard time letting go Sometimes I forget That you’re not grown up yet I heard a sound back then I can’t get it out of my head I almost cried When the century plant fell It hadn’t bloomed yet I think I know how it felt felt I have a hard time letting go I have a hard time letting go I have a hard time letting go It would be a starry night If it weren’t for this cloudy sky So I‘ll stand here to watch the rain Underneath the street lights Yellow when I close my eyes Blue like tomorrow Read like an obituary A postcard that I never sent I have a hard time letting go I have a hard time letting go I have a hard time letting go
