Lyrics & Arrangement
[Instrumental Intro]

[Verse 1 – Upright bass and soft brushed snare on 2 carry it, fingerpicked steel-string acoustic stays out of the vocal's way]
Lost cats, guitar lessons, van for hire
I read the board above the washers
I copy down a phone number
And watch my shirts turn underwater

[Pre-Chorus – One bar of silence before the chorus lands]
I leave before I say it
Then come back up before you close the door

[Chorus – Two or three voices in close harmony throughout]
Turn the screen off when you're ready
I will leave the small lamp on
You can finish what you're reading
Then come and tell me how it ends

[Verse 2 – Bass and kick like a heartbeat, everything else acoustic and dry]
The record store had someone buying vinyl
An old man flipping records, side by side
We didn't speak, just shared the afternoon
The same small square of light before it died
