Blue Thread

Lyrics

[Verse 1] You leave the porch light on for me Though you know I have the key A paper cup beside the sink Your note says, “Coffee’s yours, don’t think” [Pre-Chorus] The day can pull us different ways You make a home of ordinary days [Chorus] I love you in the little things The coat you bring, the kettle singing Your hand finds mine beneath the table You make the hard days feel more able No grand parade, no perfect view Just all my life, coming back to you [Verse 2] You know which floorboard likes to creak And save the last peach for a week We trade our stories, half asleep You laugh before the punchline’s complete [Pre-Chorus] The years may change the shape of us But every morning gives me trust [Chorus] I love you in the little things The coat you bring, the kettle singing Your hand finds mine beneath the table You make the hard days feel more able No grand parade, no perfect view Just all my life, coming back to you [Bridge] When silver gathers at our hair And Sunday takes us everywhere I’ll still reach for you in the dark Still know your footsteps by their arc [Final Chorus] I love you in the little things The coat you bring, the kettle singing Your hand finds mine beneath the table You make the hard days feel more able No grand parade, no perfect view Just all my life, coming back to you [Outro] The porch light’s on, the key turns true I’m home again, because of you
