[Verse 1]
Sun sneaks in
Through that crooked blind
Hits your face
Like it’s on my side
You mumble something
Roll into my chest
Steal my air
Then you steal my stress
Little feet
Down the hall
Too loud
Cartoon theme
Underneath the crowd
You smile halfway
Eyes still mostly closed
“Your turn
Baby”
So it’s me that goes
[Chorus]
I’m just grateful I wake up here
Your hair on my arm
Your breath in my ear
Same old ceiling
Brand‑new day
Same small kitchen where our kids play
I don’t need anything more than this
Milk on the table
Your half‑awake kiss
If this is all I ever do
I’m grateful it’s with you
[Verse 2]
Cereal bowl
Overflowing milk
You wipe his chin
In that faded silk
Our daughter’s drawing
On the fridge again
Four stick people
And I know that’s us
Then
You catch me staring
Over burnt toast crumbs
“Why you lookin’
Like your heart went dumb?”
I laugh
“I’m fine
Just counting what I got”
You roll your eyes
But your cheeks run hot (mm)
[Chorus]
I’m just grateful I wake up here
Your hair on my arm
Your breath in my ear
Same old ceiling
Brand‑new day
Same small kitchen where our kids play
I don’t need anything more than this
Milk on the table
Your half‑awake kiss
If this is all I ever do
I’m grateful it’s with you
[Bridge]
We used to chase
Every shiny thing
Late-night doors
And an early spring
Now it’s lunch bags
Laundry
Names on shoes
And somehow
Baby
That’s where I choose
’Cause every “Dad?”
From down that hall
Every “Babe?”
From your morning call
Feels like proof
I didn’t miss my chance
Got a life
I can hold in my hands
[Chorus]
I’m just grateful I wake up here
Your hair on my arm
Your breath in my ear
Same old ceiling
Brand‑new day
Same small kitchen where our kids play
I don’t need anything more than this
Milk on the table
Your half‑awake kiss
If this is all I ever do
I’m grateful it’s with you
