I Miss You in the Quiet

歌詞

[Verse 1] Your blue mug’s still beside the sink I leave it there; I like to think You might come back for one more tea And ask what’s wrong with me Your hair tie’s looped around the chair I reach for it, then stop halfway The little things you used to do Still take up space in every room [Pre-Chorus] I tell my friends I’m doing fine Then lose my words when they ask why [Chorus] I miss you in the quiet parts When the day lets go and the house gets dark I miss the way you said my name Like I was someone you were glad to claim I keep your place beside me still Though I know you won’t come through the hill If you ever wonder where I am I’m right here, missing who I am with you [Verse 2] Your old notes live inside a book I found one folded where you’d look A grocery list, your crooked O And “get the pears you like” below I took the long way home last night Past the corner where we’d talk till closing time I almost sent the words I wrote Then watched them fade beneath my thumb [Pre-Chorus] I tell my friends I’m doing fine But every goodbye takes me back in time [Chorus] I miss you in the quiet parts When the day lets go and the house gets dark I miss the way you said my name Like I was someone you were glad to claim I keep your place beside me still Though I know you won’t come through the hill If you ever wonder where I am I’m right here, missing who I am with you [Bridge] Maybe someday this room will feel Like just a room, not something we built Till then I’ll let the kettle sing And leave that mug beside the sink [Final Chorus] I miss you in the quiet parts When the day lets go and the house gets dark I miss the way you said my name I miss the ease before it changed I keep your place beside me still Though I know you won’t come through the hill If you ever wonder where I am I’m right here, missing who I am with you [Outro] Your blue mug’s still beside the sink I leave it there, and let myself think
