Needle Drop Heart

[Intro]

[faint crackle, room tone]

You hear that?

Me

Coming back to me

[Verse 1]

Left my joy

On your nightstand

With the half-full glass

And the “call me back”

Quiet hands

Folded my wants small

Like a note in a pocket

I forgot I had

Took your storms

Like they were seasons

Waited on a reason

To feel the sun

[Chorus]

I’m takin’ my heart off your needle

No more spinning in your groove

I’m playin’ my own record back

Every scratch, every truth

I’m loud in the places I once hid

Soft where I used to bruise

I’m takin’ my heart off your needle

And it all sounds new

(Oh, it all sounds new)

[Verse 2]

I forgive

Every time I vanished

Just to keep your balance

From tipping hard

Now my name

Tastes like honey

Rolls slow off my tongue

Drips down my scars

I don’t need

You to say I’m worthy

I can hear me clearly

In the quiet dark

[Chorus]

I’m takin’ my heart off your needle

No more spinning in your groove

I’m playin’ my own record back

Every scratch, every truth

I’m loud in the places I once hid

Soft where I used to bruise

I’m takin’ my heart off your needle

And it all sounds new

(Yeah-yeah-yeah, new)

[Bridge]

Who was I

When I kept you steady?

Holding you together

Coming all undone?

Now my “too much”

Is my favorite color

I’m a late-night cover

Only I sing on

[Chorus]

I’m takin’ my heart off your needle

No more spinning in your groove

I’m playin’ my own record back

Every scratch, every truth

I’m loud in the places I once hid

Soft where I used to bruise

I’m takin’ my heart off your needle

And it all sounds

New
