歌詞
[Verse 1]
You left your blue mug by the sink again
A little crescent of tea along the rim
I washed it, but I set it back
Some habits know which way to turn
The landlord fixed the hallway light
It flickers twice before it settles right
I stood beneath it with your keys
And listened to the building breathe
[Chorus]
I’m not asking you to come back
I’m not saying I’m alright
I just keep finding small reminders
In the ordinary parts of life
[Verse 2]
The bus was late beside the pharmacy
A woman held the door and smiled at me
I almost told her where you went
Then watched the red sign change again
There’s a low note under everything
The old piano downstairs has lost its spring
It sounds like someone trying hard
To make a room remember them
[Chorus]
I’m not asking you to come back
I’m not saying I’m alright
I just keep finding small reminders
In the ordinary parts of life
[Bridge]
If I hear your name, I let it pass
Like rain collecting in the grass
No grand goodbye, no final scene
Just less of you in-between
[Outro]
You left your blue mug by the sink again
Tomorrow I might put it in the cabinet
You left your blue mug by the sink again
A little crescent of tea along the rim
I washed it, but I set it back
Some habits know which way to turn
The landlord fixed the hallway light
It flickers twice before it settles right
I stood beneath it with your keys
And listened to the building breathe
[Chorus]
I’m not asking you to come back
I’m not saying I’m alright
I just keep finding small reminders
In the ordinary parts of life
[Verse 2]
The bus was late beside the pharmacy
A woman held the door and smiled at me
I almost told her where you went
Then watched the red sign change again
There’s a low note under everything
The old piano downstairs has lost its spring
It sounds like someone trying hard
To make a room remember them
[Chorus]
I’m not asking you to come back
I’m not saying I’m alright
I just keep finding small reminders
In the ordinary parts of life
[Bridge]
If I hear your name, I let it pass
Like rain collecting in the grass
No grand goodbye, no final scene
Just less of you in-between
[Outro]
You left your blue mug by the sink again
Tomorrow I might put it in the cabinet
