You Are Not Far

Lyrics

[Verse 1] Your blue mug waits beside the sink The handle turned the way you liked I catch myself about to ask If you want tea before the night [Pre-Chorus] Then the quiet tells me where you are And every room feels twice as far [Chorus] I miss you in the little things The coat still hanging by the door The way you laughed at your own jokes The stories I could hear once more I carry home inside my chest A place your voice still knows by heart No matter where this life may pull You are not far, you are not far [Verse 2] I found your note beneath a book Three words and one unsteady line I read it while the kettle sang And held that paper like a sign [Pre-Chorus] Some days the ache is soft and slow Some days it has nowhere to go [Chorus] I miss you in the little things The coat still hanging by the door The way you laughed at your own jokes The stories I could hear once more I carry home inside my chest A place your voice still knows by heart No matter where this life may pull You are not far, you are not far [Bridge] If love could cross the miles tonight I know it would be at your side So I will speak your name out loud And leave the porch light on inside [Final Chorus] I miss you in the little things Your blue mug waiting by the sink And every ordinary day Still gives me reasons to remember I carry home inside my chest A place your voice still knows by heart No matter where this life may pull You are not far, you are not far [Outro] You are not far You are not far
