[Verse 1]
Mug on the railing
Steam in the dawn
You hum in the kitchen
Radio low
Slippers on
Sun through the doorway
Dust in the air
You say
"We’re running so late"
But you’re still braiding your hair
[Chorus]
Porch light flicker
I’m still here
Counting cars and quiet years
All these tiny
Tired miracles
Keeping us together when we come undone
Porch light flicker
Always on
[Verse 2]
Bills on the counter
Crayons on the floor
You’re laughing at something
You’ve already told me before
We argue ’bout nothing
Who left what where
Then you’re asleep on my shoulder
Half a song into that old chair
[Chorus]
[Bridge]
Maybe it’s cracked plates
Loose gates
Leaky roof on a windy day
Maybe it’s burned toast
Bad jokes
Learning how to stay
[Chorus]
