When You’re Free

[Verse] You said we could trade 粽子 tomorrow Or when I’m free, no rush Like kindness doesn’t need a reason Like care doesn’t ask for much I said I could come the next day You said, “Don’t make it hard” “Put yourself first if you need to” And somehow that went straight to my heart [Pre Chorus] You don’t say too much But you show up in small ways A paper bag, a quiet laugh A softer kind of safe [Chorus] When you’re free Come find me where the day slows down No need to call it anything No need to say it out loud Maybe it’s just kindness Maybe I’m reading too deep But some people feel like shelter Some people feel like sleep When you’re free I’ll be there too Trying not to need an answer Trying just to be with you [Verse] I ordered wrong at lunch today You could have made me small But you explained it gently Like mistakes don’t mean I fall You said, “Imagine if it happened With something you can’t eat” And I saw myself in that moment Learning empathy through peace [Pre Chorus] You don’t turn care into drama You don’t make warmth a debt You just carry what you can carry And leave me less upset [Chorus] When you’re free Come find me where the day slows down No need to call it anything No need to say it out loud Maybe it’s just kindness Maybe I’m reading too deep But some people feel like shelter Some people feel like sleep When you’re free I’ll be there too Trying not to need an answer Trying just to be with you [Bridge] Tuesday, you carried things to my car Thursday, you felt softer than before Friday, we filmed under ordinary light And somehow I wanted more But I won’t rush what isn’t ready I won’t force what needs to breathe If this is only friendship Then let it still be kind to me [Chorus] When you’re free Come find me when the noise dies down No need to promise forever No need to figure it out Maybe it’s just kindness Maybe it’s something true But I know I feel lighter When I’m sitting there with you When you’re free When you’re free I’ll put myself first And maybe still choose you [Outro] 粽子 on the table Rain outside the door You said, “Take care of yourself” And I wanted nothing more
