This song is about returning to a place and finding it changed. It’s about the long journey across the country, up a flight of stairs, across the cheek of someone you’re trying to reach. It’s about finding your place when those around you want to be alone.

I’m driving east to move back to a memory I know
But they’ve all got wrinkles in their eyes from wincing fast and blinking slow

They’ve all got little raisins on their fingers and their toes
From wading in the shower
Letting time wash them by

From the nozzle, to the head
The neck, the shoulder, to the sigh

She lived on the 30th floor
Heard me from above
Said “I remember a smile like yours
Please come up”

So I started climbing
A few months in I hit my stride
Kept my head up
A few months more I stepped inside

She said,
“My bread won’t bake
My clothes won’t fold
My plants have died
I haven’t slept in years
But there’s one last thing we can try”

Your fingers running, searching for a spot she says that you can’t find
Between her eyes and ears a tender spot that tingles down her spine

A little button on her temple
What she needs to close her mind
Find it
Push it
“Turn me off and tuck me in”

She said, “It’s hard out there for you
But in my dreams, babe, you win”
