[Verse 1]
Your mug’s still by the kettle
Tea stain in the shape of your thumb
Your coat hangs by the doorway
Like you’ll grab it when I say “come”
Your book stays on the table
Folded page where you left off
I dust around your picture
Talk to you when nights get rough
[Chorus]
I still set your place at the table
Pour your glass
Pull out your chair
I keep making room in this small house
Like any moment you’ll walk down the stairs
You might be gone from the world out there
But you’re not gone from me
Anywhere
I still set your place at the table
‘Cause I can’t forget
I won’t forget you
[Verse 2]
Your name lights up my phone screen
In old messages I can’t erase
I hear your key in the doorway
Every creak sounds like your pace
Your sweater on the armchair
Keeps your shape
Keeps your smell
Some days I’m doing better
Some days I break and I tell myself
[Chorus]
[Bridge]
I’ll carry every Sunday morning
Every joke you never finished
Every almost
Every always
Every soft “love you” I miss
[low vocal register] If memory’s all I get to hold
Then I’ll hold it like the truth
[crescendo] ‘Cause letting go would feel like losing
One more piece of you
[Chorus]
