Verse
You Kept Me Close Enough To Feel It
Far Enough To Stay Unsure
Every Word You Gave Was Careful
Every Silence Had A Door
I Learned The Shape Of Your Goodbyes
The Way You'd Soften Then Retreat
I Gave You All My Quiet Hours
And You Gave Me A Borrowed Seat
Pre-Chorus
And I Don't Need A Reason
To Know What I Already Feel
You Handed Me Just Enough
To Keep Me Reaching For The Real
Chorus
I Wanna Be The One You Keep
Not The One You Keep Around
Not The Almost, Not The Echo
Not The One Who's Always Found
I Wanna Be The One You Choose
When No One Else Is In The Room
Not The Name You Say Too Softly
Not The One You Bury Soon
Verse 2
I Kept Your Jacket In My Closet
Like A Ghost I Couldn't Fold
Every Thread A Little Memory
Every Stitch A Story Told
And Maybe I'm The One Who's Heavy
For Reading Kindness As A Sign
But If You Never Meant To Hold Me
Why'd You Hold Me All The Time?
Pre-Chorus
And I Don't Need A Reason
To Know What I Already Feel
You Handed Me Just Enough
To Keep Me Reaching For The Real
Chorus
I Wanna Be The One You Keep
Not The One You Keep Around
Not The Almost, Not The Echo
Not The One Who's Always Found
I Wanna Be The One You Choose
When No One Else Is In The Room
Not The Name You Say Too Softly
Not The One You Bury Soon
Bridge
And I Could Tell Myself It's Fine
That I Was Never On Your Mind
But Darling, I Was In Your Orbit
Just A Little Out Of Line
So I'll Take The Ache And Let It Go
I'll Learn To Love A Quieter Glow
And Somewhere Past The Almost
I'll Find The One Who Knows
