lyrics

I NEVER LEANED IN
(words and music by E.P. Schwartz)

I've kissed every girl I've ever loved
except one
Sometimes she sits on my mind
like communion sits on your tongue

she'll just lay in my dreams
like a cat in a sunbeam

she runs her fingers through my hair
in places I don't share


All those nights
all those drinks
I never leaned in
All this time
now I think
I never leaned in
If I knew then
what I know now
I never leaned in
Close my eyes
will me back
I never leaned in

I've kissed every girl I ever loved
except her
She had the eyes and the laugh
and the mind and the curves

That night after the bar
we all squeezed into the car

I could smell her skin
but I never leaned in

All those nights
all those drinks
I never leaned in
All this time
now I think
I never leaned in
If I knew then
what I know now
I never leaned in
Close my eyes
will me back
I never leaned in


She was a beautiful distraction
this regrets not a heavy load
it's just an overreaction
to getting old

I've kissed every girl I've ever loved
except one
Sometimes she sits on my mind
like communion sits on your tongue

she'll just lay in my dreams
like a cat in a sunbeam

she runs her fingers through my hair
in places I don't share

All those nights
all those drinks
I never leaned in
All this time
now I think
I never leaned in
If I knew then
what I know now
I never leaned in
Close my eyes
will me back
I never leaned in


That night we walked across Chicago
I never leaned in
The night the woman sang opera
I never leaned in
Miami Beach 4 a.m.
I never leaned in
Any time I was with her
I never leaned in
