[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
