In the Small Hours

Şarkı Sözleri

[Verse 1] You leave your blue mug by the kitchen sink A little ring of tea, a thousand things to think Your coat is on my chair, your keys beside the door The ordinary feels like what I’m waiting for [Pre-Chorus] When the day comes loose at every seam You pull me back to something real [Chorus] I love you in the small hours, in the grocery aisle When you steal the better half and make me laugh a while No fireworks required, no promise carved in stone Just your hand finding mine and making anywhere home I love you, I love you, more than words can hold In the quiet ways, in the stories we’ve told [Verse 2] You know I count the stairs when I can’t sleep You leave the hallway lamp on low for me We miss the train, split one umbrella in two And every wrong turn still leads me back to you [Pre-Chorus] If tomorrow asks us where to start I’ll find the answer in your heart [Chorus] I love you in the small hours, in the grocery aisle When you steal the better half and make me laugh a while No fireworks required, no promise carved in stone Just your hand finding mine and making anywhere home I love you, I love you, more than words can hold In the quiet ways, in the stories we’ve told [Bridge] Years may change the windows, names upon the mail We’ll learn a hundred new ways not to let each other fail And when the room is crowded, when the night is long You’ll be the first familiar place where I belong [Final Chorus] I love you in the small hours, in the grocery aisle Through the tired conversation and the unexpected smile No fireworks required, no promise carved in stone Just your hand finding mine and making anywhere home I love you, I love you, steady as the road In the quiet ways, carrying our load [Outro] Your blue mug by the kitchen sink You look at me, and I don’t have to think
