The Exit You Drew

I had rehearsed the conversation
In the mirror by the stairs
You were waiting in the kitchen
Putting oranges in a bag
Said you didn't need the whole plan
Just the address and the keys

All the ways I thought I'd break it
You made room for me to leave

The exit you drew
On the back of my receipt
The exit you drew
Put the whole world back in reach

Now the room above the station
Has a mattress and a view
I can hear the morning buses
I can make my coffee new
You're not asking for a promise
You're just asking how I slept

The exit you drew
On the back of my receipt
The exit you drew
Put the whole world back in reach

I thought help would come with thunder
And a debt I'd have to pay
You just handed me directions
Then you let me choose the day

The exit you drew
On the back of my receipt
The exit you drew
Put the whole world back in reach

The exit you drew
I can draw my own now too
