The Room Will Change Again

[Verse 1]
You left your blue cup by the sink
The chipped one with the painted bird
I kept it there through moving day
As if a small thing might be heard

[Chorus]
Some things stay where you set them down
A coat, a cup, a name
And every time I pass that place
The room is not the same

[Verse 2]
The landlord fixed the kitchen light
It used to flicker when it rained
Now every corner comes in clear
But nothing here has quite explained

[Chorus]
Some things stay where you set them down
A coat, a cup, a name
And every time I pass that place
The room is not the same

[Bridge]
I’ll give the cup to someone new
Let morning gather in its blue
And when they ask about the bird
I’ll tell them what I can in words

[Final Chorus]
Some things move on when they’re passed around
A cup, a tune, a name
And maybe in another home
The room will change again

[Outro]
The room will change again
