Lyrics — written by hand
Intro(Mm) set it down here
VerseYou came in with your shoulders up
and the whole thing still in your hands.
Bag by the door, keys in the bowl,
and it's already too much to stand.
So take the coat off the argument.
Take the shoes off the afternoon.
Whatever it wanted from you at three
does not get to want it at noon.
Put the day down.
It won't roll away.
It'll be there in the morning
and you'll be more able than today.
The dishes are willing to wait for you,
the message can hold till eight.
Nobody's marking you absent
for being a little bit late.
Put the day down.
It won't roll away.
It'll be there in the morning
and you'll be more able than today.
You have been holding this since seven.
Your fingers have gone white.
It isn't devotion, it's just a grip —
and a grip can be opened tonight.
Put the day down.
It won't roll away.
It'll be there in the morning
and you'll be more able than today.
(Mm) fingers open.
(Mm) it stays where you set it.
