When It’s Just Us Again

[Verse 1]
Your lunch is in a paper bag
My tie is stained with yesterday
You wipe a cheek
I find a shoe
We laugh and call it half awake
Cartoons humming in the dark
Tiny socks on kitchen chairs
You say
“We used to sleep till noon”
I say
“We’ll get back there” (one day)
[Chorus]
When it’s just us again
Slow coffee in a quiet kitchen
Your feet on mine
No one between
Whole nights where we keep on talking
We’ll remember how this all began
Hand in hand
When it’s just us again
[Verse 2]
Morning emails
Midnight bills
Crayons melting on the floor
You spin a story
Stir the soup
I’m folding dreams behind the door
We trade a kiss above the sink
Your hair smells like shampoo and rain
You whisper
“Will we find our time?”
I say
“It’s waiting
It’s saved” (for us)
[Chorus]
When it’s just us again
Slow coffee in a quiet kitchen
Your feet on mine
No one between
Whole nights where we keep on talking
We’ll remember how this all began
Hand in hand
When it’s just us again
[Bridge]
They’ll borrow keys
They’ll drive away
We’ll stand outside and wave
And wave
Then turn around
To an empty house
And find our younger selves again
[Chorus]
When it’s just us again
Two plates on the table
Gentle
Your head on my shoulder
Breathing in
Long walks where the world feels simple
We’ll remember how this all began
And fall in love
When it’s just us again (oh oh)
[Outro]
Till it’s just us again
We’ll hold this beautiful
Busy mess
I’ll meet you on the other side of bedtime
Same two hearts
One yes
