Hear Me Out
[Verse 1] You're up before the morning knows its name You've got their orders memorized, their faces, their days Espresso for the man who lost his wife last fall You remember every one of them — you remember them all And you come home with paint on your hands, cerulean blue Fifty shades of Sunday afternoon living in you [Chorus] Okay but hear me out, Maya You are the strangest, softest kind of light Thirty green things growing on the windowsill And you laughing at your own punchline before the night [Verse 2] You've named every leaf in this apartment we share There's a monstera called Gerald by the third stair You start a joke and you crack before you reach the end And I fall for it every time, I'd fall for it again You say 'okay but hear me out' like the world should hold its breath And honestly, Maya, it does — or at least I do [Chorus] Okay but hear me out, Maya You are the strangest, softest kind of light Thirty green things growing on the windowsill And you laughing at your own punchline before the night
