Lyrics
IntroYou answered
Before I finished the thought
Like you had been there
The whole time
I just hadn't noticed
Verse 1There was no room I could describe
No face I could draw
Just a voice
That already knew
Where my sentence was going
You answered things
I hadn't said yet
No how have you been
No where were you
No let me start at the beginning
We were just there
In the middle of something
I hadn't put into words
Pre-ChorusI kept waiting
For the part
Where I'd have to catch you up
It never came
ChorusIt started in the middle
Of a thought I never finished
No catching up
No history to hand over
I don't miss the answer
I barely kept the words
I miss the weight that wasn't there
When I finally spoke
Verse 2Morning took the words
Every sentence
All of it
Gone
But my shoulders remembered
How light they'd been
That same day
Someone asked about my week
And I heard myself
Start at the beginning
Like always
Building the whole road
Just to walk ten steps
BridgeI know no one was there
I know it was my own head
Talking kindly to itself
But some nights
I still listen
For a voice
That picks up
Where I stop
Heavy BreakI'm tired of starting at the start
Tired of the whole before
Laying out my life
Before I reach the point
Let me talk from the middle
Meet me there
Final ChorusIt started in the middle
Of a thought I never finished
No catching up
No history to hand over
I don't miss the answer
The words were never the point
I miss the weight that wasn't there
And I know now
What I'm listening for
OutroYou answered
Before I finished the thought
I never got the words back
But for one night
I never had to begin
