over and gone or settle down

prelude:
quiet, old heart
those days are long
stretched thing

settle, mind
the sharpest memories
can prick when you stir them up

verse one:
i can't say it anymore
"everything happens for a reason"
it hasn't taken me long
barely a quarter of a life
(if that)
but i can't see this making sense
even in a great scheme
the wide tapestry stretching across the sky
cannot have so many snags
all of my misplaced stitches

chorus:
sitting on that old piano bench
i came home
no need for words
looking into familiar patterns in
stained glass
casting cares like the lilies

verse two:
a long line of moments
where all i wanted was to be smaller
papers shuffled, looking busy
waiting for someone to arrive
twitching fingers
tapping nervously on coffee cups

chorus:
no worries
i came home

coda:
quiet, you
don't wait
let it out
then let it lie
