The stories behind What I Won't Touch Yet

• Inside "What I Won't Touch Yet": A Slightly Warmer Second Take — The second take of "What I Won't Touch Yet" runs a touch slower, giving its Rhodes piano chords a little more room to breathe.
• What I Won't Touch Yet: The Discipline of Knowing Your Limits — A mellow lo-fi reflection on a quieter definition of competence: knowing exactly which machines you haven't earned the right to open.

Lyrics

Some machines I can open with my eyes closed

Some I just walk past, and that's how

it goes The vent, the gas machine, the magnet room

Confidence isn't a license, it's just a mood

A good tech knows where the knowing ends

Some doors wait for the class to make a sense

But I won't touch it

Tells you more than all the work I've done

But I won't touch it

Is how you know I'm the careful one

new guy wants to prove it wants it today i did too before

i learned to say not mine yet call the one who knows that's not

weakness that's how the good one grows but i won't touch

yet

Tells you more than all the work I've done

But I won't touch it

Cause how you know I'm the careful one

Someday that door opens, training in hand

Until then, I respect where I stand I'm not scared of the machine, just

honest about the gap

Between what I know and what I only map

What I won't touch, yeah

Tells you more than all the work I've done

What I won't touch yet

Is how you know I'm the careful one

Some machines I can open with my eyes closed

Some I just walk past,

and that's how the good one grows
