Lyrics — written by hand
Intro(Mm) fold it over
VerseSeven things this morning,
three of them got done.
Two turned out to be someone else's
and one was never a real one.
You could carry the four to tomorrow
the way you've carried them all week,
or you could close the book on the whole of it
and let the quiet speak.
Goodnight to the list.
Goodnight to the undone.
You are not the sum of your open loops.
You're a person, not a run.
The pen goes back in the drawer now,
the paper goes face down.
Whatever is left is patient —
it isn't going out of town.
Goodnight to the list.
Goodnight to the undone.
You are not the sum of your open loops.
You're a person, not a run.
I used to think the day was a debt
and sleep was a thing I stole.
Now I think the day is a day
and rest is part of the whole.
Goodnight to the list.
Goodnight to the undone.
You are not the sum of your open loops.
You're a person, not a run.
(Mm) face down on the table.
(Mm) goodnight, and let go.
