A Settlement

Leave me alone
Until you stop looking around,
At what you’ve found
I’ll open the door
She said “I’ll paint you orange”
When you agree to let me be
Takes me up the ladder
And pulls it down
And I’m hoping it’s good

The door seems much bigger than it used to be
In my head, where I made you bigger than you need to be
And I tried, leave me alone
I tried, leave me alone

We may come to a settlement
We may end up on terms
I'm not sure if that’s what I'm looking for
I'm not sure if that’s what I'm looking for
We may release a little bit
Of the fabric we sew
But if you’re standing under me I'll know
Feeling like the reason you let me go

The door seems much bigger than it used to be
In my head, where I made you bigger than you need to be
And I tried, leave me alone
I tried, leave me alone

You wrote yourself into a hole
But you know what there is to know
And that’s good
