[Verse 1 – Male 1]
You labeled all your coffee jars
I stopped leaving shoes by the door
You hum along to weather reports
I wipe the crumbs from the floor
[Verse 2 – Female 1]
You text me when the bus is late
I save your spot at the table
You fix the chair that always squeaks
We laugh
“yeah
We’re getting stable”
[Chorus – All (Male 2 leads)]
Nothing left in the sink
’Cause we’re washing what we used to drink through
All the ways that we were stuck
Now it’s dishes
Trust
And Tuesday luck
Every cup
Every plate
Is a promise that we’re gonna stay and think
If we can clean up this small stuff
There’ll be nothing left in the sink
[Verse 3 – Male 3]
I leave a note on the fridge
“Hey
Remember to breathe today”
You circle dates on the calendar
Plans we’re proud we didn’t delay
[Pre-Chorus – Female 2]
Tiny things pile up so quiet
Used to drown inside my head
Now the mess is on the sponge
Not the words we never said (hey!)
[Chorus – All (Female 1 & Male 1 trade)]
Nothing left in the sink
We’ve got reasons now to rinse and rethink
All the ghosts of who we were
Fade in warm light
Soap
And gentle slur
Every fork
Every stain
Is a story that we chose to not outdrink
If we can clean up this small stuff
There’ll be nothing left in the sink
[Bridge – All
Call and response]
Male 2: You show up when the week feels heavy
Female 2: I show up when you oversleep
Male 1: You fold shirts while the movie’s loading
Female 1: I lock doors
Count the spare house keys
Male 3: We’re not perfect
We’re just present
All: That’s the promise we can bring
Female 2: Growing up felt big and distant
All: Turns out it’s just
All: Turning up and
All: Rinsing out the ring (oh-oh)
[Chorus – All
Biggest]
Nothing left in the sink
Yeah
We’re stronger than we used to think
All the cracks inside the day
Filled with quiet ways we choose to stay
Every cup
Every plate
Every “see you soon” before we blink
If we can love in these small ways
There’ll be nothing left in the sink
[Outro – All
Soft then shout]
Soft: Nothing left in the sink
Soft: Just the proof that we didn’t shrink
Shout: We grew up in this small place
Shout: Showing up
Leaving nothing in the sink
