Split the Last Pecan

Versuri

[Verse 1] Crack in the bowl by the kitchen fan Peanut dust on the back of my hand Almonds lined up like a tiny parade Cashew moon in a paper shade [Pre-Chorus] You said, “Save some for later” I said, “Later can wait” There’s a pistachio grin On every plate [Chorus] Nuts in the jar, nuts on the table Take what you can while the snack is able Salt on my sleeve, crumbs on the floor One little handful turns into four Nuts in the jar, pass them around Tiny good reasons making a sound If the day gets tough, we know what to do Split the last pecan in two [Verse 2] Walnut wearing a rough brown coat Hazelnut rolling beneath the note Brazil nut heavy as a paperweight Macadamia showing up fashionably late [Pre-Chorus] You said, “That’s the last one” I watched you reach once more There’s a peanut hiding Behind the drawer [Chorus] Nuts in the jar, nuts on the table Take what you can while the snack is able Salt on my sleeve, crumbs on the floor One little handful turns into four Nuts in the jar, pass them around Tiny good reasons making a sound If the day gets tough, we know what to do Split the last pecan in two [Bridge] No fancy feast, no silver spoon Just a paper bag and an afternoon You bring the laughs, I’ll bring the bowl A little crunch can steady the soul [Final Chorus] Nuts in the jar, nuts on the table Take what you can while the snack is able Salt on my sleeve, crumbs on the floor One little handful turns into four Nuts in the jar, pass them around Tiny good reasons making a sound If the day gets tough, we know what to do Split the last pecan in two [Outro] Crack in the bowl, sunlight on the wall Save one for later—then eat them all
