Verse 1 Midnight driveway Porch light on He lifts the blanket Like it's still alive Makes a little space Between frozen dinners Closes the lid And says, "Take your time." Pre Someone cleared a shelf In a freezer full of dinners For a dog they'd never even met Some people carry strangers. Some can't carry their own. Chorus Love don't always follow blood It shows up where it wants Sometimes wearing a stranger's face Some people carry strangers Some can't carry their own Verse 2 Eight blue candles Melt down slow One paper plate Still left untouched Three streets over A phone stays silent Nobody says "I'm on my way." Pre Someone cleared a shelf In a freezer full of dinners For a dog they'd never even met Some people carry strangers. Some can't carry their own. Chorus Love don't always follow blood It shows up where it wants Sometimes wearing a stranger's face Some people carry strangers Some can't carry their own Verse 3 Two grocery bags Left by the doorstep No return address Just "Thinking of you" Across the street She eats in silence Saving half the meal Just in case Pre Someone cleared a shelf In a freezer full of dinners For a dog they'd never even met Some people carry strangers. Some can't carry their own. Chorus Love don't always follow blood It shows up where it wants Sometimes wearing a stranger's face Some people carry strangers Some can't carry their own Bridge We show up for some people Without knowing why Walk right past the ones we love Looking them in the eye Final Chorus Love don't always follow blood It shows up where it wants Sometimes wearing a stranger's face Some people carry strangers Some can't carry their own Outro Closes the lid "Take your time."
