Making Space Between

[Verse 1]
You left your blue mug by the sink
The handle turned toward the wall
I rinsed it, set it on the rack
And let the kitchen settle small

[Pre-Chorus]
The morning came without a speech
A pale square on the wooden floor
I found my coat, I found my keys
And didn’t check the door once more

[Chorus]
I’m learning how to leave a little room
For days that don’t explain themselves
A chair pulled out, a window cracked
A book returned to its own shelf
I’m learning how to let the quiet stay
Without asking what it means
One ordinary breath at a time
I’m making space between

[Verse 2]
The corner shop has changed its sign
The owner still remembers my name
He wraps the pears in yesterday’s news
And asks if spring has come again

[Pre-Chorus]
I tell him, “Maybe by next week”
He laughs and hands me back my change
The street is full of little things
That never needed me to change

[Chorus]
I’m learning how to leave a little room
For days that don’t explain themselves
A chair pulled out, a window cracked
A book returned to its own shelf
I’m learning how to let the quiet stay
Without asking what it means
One ordinary breath at a time
I’m making space between

[Bridge]
Some nights the old thought finds its way
And sits beside me for a while
I don’t have to send it off
I let it rest, then watch it go

[Final Chorus]
I’m learning how to leave a little room
For days that don’t explain themselves
A chair pulled out, a window cracked
A book returned to its own shelf
I’m learning how to let the quiet stay
And trust the life I haven’t seen
One ordinary breath at a time
I’m making space between

[Outro]
The blue mug dries beside the sink
The morning moves across the floor
