Glass Table Girl

Lyrics

Verse 1
She comes in late
Keeps her coat on
By the doorway
Like she might run
Laughs at the edge
Of every room
Holds her phone tight
Like a life raft

Pre-Chorus
She wants the table
She wants the song
She wants to stay
Where she belongs
But every glance
Feels way too long
So she folds in
And acts too strong

Chorus
Don’t look too close
I might shake
I want the crowd
Then need escape
I’m right here
But out of place
Love me slow
If you make space
(If you make space)
Love me slow
If you make space

Verse 2
She knows their names
But not their eyes
Reads every pause
Like a test sign
Worries her laugh
Sounds too small
Worries her silence
Says too much

Pre-Chorus
She wants the light
She wants the chance
To join the hands
To join the dance
But fear walks in
A step ahead
And sits beside her
In her head

Chorus
Don’t look too close
I might shake
I want the crowd
Then need escape
I’m right here
But out of place
Love me slow
If you make space
(If you make space)
Love me slow
If you make space

Bridge
Maybe I’m not
Hard to love
Maybe I just
Need a little
Room to breathe
A little time
A hand that stays
When I go quiet
Tell me I’m safe
Tell me I’m seen
Say I can be
A little in between

Final Chorus
Don’t look too close
I might shake
I want the crowd
Then need escape
I’m right here
But out of place
Love me slow
If you make space
(If you make space)
Love me slow
If you make space
(I’m trying)
Love me slow
If you make space
