Lyrics

[Intro]
[Verse]
The glass is cold and gray
It’s been a weird Tuesday
You sent a text at ten
“Fine by me,” you said then
Does the period mean a wall?
Or nothing at all?
I’m poking at the base
While I picture your face
[Pre-Chorus]
The screwdriver is small
Leaning against the wall
I’m checking every wire
Setting my brain on fire
[Chorus]
Waiting for the wax to melt
Thinking ‘bout the way I felt
Slow and steady
I’m not ready
To lose the glow
No, I’m not ready
To let this go
[Verse]
The Rickenbacker hums
My fingers are all thumbs
I found a spare bulb in the drawer
Next to the keys to your front door
I’m shaking the glitter jar
Wondering where you are
Is “fine” a coded word?
Or is that just absurd?
[Hook]
Bubble up
Bubble down
Spinning this thought around
Spinning it around
[Bridge]
Maybe it’s the way you typed it
Maybe I just over-hyped it
A comma where a period should be
Is that a signal meant for me?
The heat is rising in the glass
Watching the minutes pass
[Breakdown]
(Toy piano trills)
(Lo-fi drum beat shifts)
[Chorus]
Waiting for the wax to melt
Thinking ‘bout the way I felt
Slow and steady
I’m not ready
To lose the glow
No, I’m not ready
To let this go
[Post-Chorus]
It’s turning purple now
I fixed it somehow
But the text is still there
In the midnight air
Slow and steady
I’m not ready
To let this go
[Outro]
