Love Is The Small Things

Testo

[Verse 1] You leave your keys beside the blue bowl by the door I know the little tired grin you save for four You say the day ran long, I warm the soup again No grand parade, just making room for you to land Your coat drips rain across the kitchen chair You tell me every tangled thought, I meet you there And when the whole world asks for more than you can give I’ll take the quiet shift; we’ll make a little space to live [Chorus] Love is the small things, day after day Your hand finds mine when the words run away No perfect picture, no promise of ease Just you and me choosing, in the ordinary Love is the small things, steady and true A light left on and a seat saved for you When every plan bends, when the weather turns blue I’ll keep choosing this life with you [Verse 2] We split the last peach, laugh at the crooked cut You steal my old sweatshirt when the evenings cool up We’ve had sharp words, let them sit, then let them go Come back with honest hearts and voices low You know my bad habits, I know your brave face We give each other room, still keep our place If the years redraw the map beneath our feet I’ll learn the newer roads; you make the journey sweet [Bridge] Not a spark that has to swallow up the room More like a garden taking root and making room Through the changing seasons, every ordinary year I’ll keep showing up; I’ll keep you near [Chorus] Love is the small things, day after day Your hand finds mine when the words run away No perfect picture, no promise of ease Just you and me choosing, in the ordinary Love is the small things, steady and true A light left on and a seat saved for you When every plan bends, when the weather turns blue I’ll keep choosing this life with you [Outro] Keys by the blue bowl, your coat on the chair The day can keep turning; I’ll meet you there
