Lyrics

[Intro]
Bags waiting by the door again
Shoes still laced for a quick goodbye
My hand hovers over the light switch
Listening for a knock that never comes

[Verse 1]
I hold joy like a library book, stamped due on the spine
My bags sleep by the door, jacket on for the sirens
Smiles wear their price tags, box never fully untied
One finger over the switch, ready to blackout the light
Every laugh feels rented, payable in quiet

[Build]

[Chorus]
I lock the door from inside, I won’t run
Hang my coat, breathe deep, let the daylight stay on
I’ll let the good stay good this time
I’ll let the good stay good this time
If a knock ever comes, it can wait outside
I’ll let the good stay good this time
I’ll let the good stay good this time
(this time, this time)

[Drop]

[Verse 2]
I mapped the exits in every room I’ve loved
Kept the engine warm through summers that should’ve warmed me up
Left one drawer empty, rehearsed a silent goodbye
Braced for the letter repossessing my sky
But the hallway keeps its hush; that knock never arrives

[Build 2]

[Chorus 2]
I put my keys in a bowl, not my fist
Turn the switch with a laugh — let the whole house exist
I’ll let the good stay good this time
I’ll let the good stay good this time
Say it till my ribcage learns the line
I’ll let the good stay good this time
I’ll let the good stay good this time
No receipts on the joy I sign
I’ll let the good stay good this time
I’ll let the good stay good this time

[Drop 2]

[Breakdown]
I unpack the last small fear, fold it square, set it down
The door is quiet; the hall stays kind
My hand leaves the switch and finds my side
I’ll let the good stay good this time

[Final Build]

[Final Drop]

[Outro]
No knock, just breathing rooms and steady light
I’ll let the good stay good this time
(let it stay, let it stay)
