Apricot Jam

[Intro]
[Verse]
Folding cotton in the dark
Found a sweater from the park
Smells like cedar and the rain
Softly numbing out the pain
Summer camp was years ago
Now I let the feelings go
[Pre-Chorus]
The tape hiss hums a tune
Inside this empty room
I’m learning how to stay
In a brand new way
[Chorus]
I built the shelf alone
This house is now a home
I bought the apricot jam
Because it’s who I am
No more asking for a hand
I finally understand
[Post-Chorus]
Just me and the Casio keys
Doing exactly what I please
Just me and the rainy glass
Watching all the shadows pass
[Verse]
I used to shrink to fit the space
To keep a smile upon my face
But the 606 is keeping time
In a rhythm that is mine
No more sorrys at the door
I don't live there anymore
[Hook]
It's okay to be alone
On this tiny island throne
It's okay to just be me
Setting all the pleases free
[Chorus]
I built the shelf alone
This house is now a home
I bought the apricot jam
Because it’s who I am
No more asking for a hand
I finally understand
[Bridge]
The Allen wrench is small
But I didn’t even fall
The jars are on the ledge
Living on the edge
Of a life that’s only mine
And I think I’m doing fine
[Verse]
Fingerpicking on the strings
Thinking of the little things
Like the way the light hits dust
In a world of quiet trust
I am unlearning every part
Of the girl with the heavy heart
[Chorus]
I built the shelf alone
This house is now a home
I bought the apricot jam
Because it’s who I am
No more asking for a hand
I finally understand
[Post-Chorus]
Just me and the Casio keys
Doing exactly what I please
Just me and the rainy glass
Watching all the shadows pass
[Outro]
