Lyrics

[Verse 1]
—bought groceries for the first time in my life yesterday
You're counting something on your fingers under the table
Twenty-seven years of muscle memory says go
But I'm getting better at staying Keep my shoes by the bed even when I'm home
Like I might need to run at any second
But you just ask what I want for dinner
And I'm getting better at staying
[Chorus]
Learning to stay [stretch]
Learning to stay
When everything in wants to move
Learning to stay
Learning to stay
This is what I run to
[Verse 2]
—three boxes still taped shut in your spare room
My father's voice in every engine that won't start
But you don't ask about the boxes
Just make space for what I brought Used to think settling meant giving up
Now I think it means growing roots
In somebody else's soil
And I'm getting braver about staying
[Chorus]
Learning to stay
Learning to stay
When everything in wants to move
Learning to stay
Learning to stay
This is what I run to [Bridge] [swallow]
My mother left when I was twelve
My father when I turned eighteen
But you — you just keep making space
For all the ways I might leave
[Final Chorus]
Learning to stay
Learning to stay
When everything in wants to move
Getting good at this
Getting good at this [crack on 'home']
'Cause this is what I run to
This is home
