Lyrics
The Elkay sink got a brand new rust bloom
Right where your coffee mug sat this afternoon.
I’ve been mapping all the cracks in the plaster wall,
Counting up the seasons since last fall.
[Chorus]
'Cause when the dust don't settle and the rain don't fall
And I run out of reasons for you to take my call,
I got the words all planted, know 'em row by row—
It's my packing speech for the only home I know.
[Verse 2]
Last Tuesday, you were sleeping, breathing warm on the sheets,
I felt the chill off the window from the empty street.
You whispered "Quédate," and I didn't say a thing,
Just laid there thinking what the next bad news might bring.
[Chorus]
'Cause when the dust don't settle and the rain don't fall
And I run out of reasons for you to take my call,
I got the words all planted, know 'em row by row—
It's my packing speech for the only home I know.
[Bridge]
This ain't a threat, Elena, it's a kindness I'm rehearsing,
A weak dam I'm building 'gainst the river that's been surging.
Just a prayer that you'll be standing on much firmer dirt than me,
On the other side of a line you'll never have to see.
[Chorus]
So when the dust don't settle and the rain don't fall,
And I've run out of reasons for you to take my call,
I'll have the words all planted, ready just to go—
It's my packing speech for the only home I know.
[Outro]
Yeah, the words are all planted...
For the only home I know.
