Mm I thought I was doing better Coffee went cold on the windowsill I wore that shirt you used to steal The kitchen light has started buzzing I keep saying that I’ll fix it Took the long way home last night Missed my stop, but that was fine There are evenings I get through There are evenings that feel like you I can fill the hours I can wear myself out But when everything gets quiet You come walking through the house You keep showing up in the quiet When the room has nothing to say In the space between the traffic And the keys outside my place I don’t call, I don’t fight it I just let the feeling stay You keep showing up in the quiet Then you leave before the day Someone asked if I was sleeping I said, “Yeah, most of the time” Bought two peaches at the market Didn’t notice till I got outside Your old cup is in the cupboard I don’t use it, don’t know why It’s not hope and it’s not heartbreak It’s just something left behind I’ve been seeing people I’ve been getting out I can laugh across a table Then forget what about You keep showing up in the quiet When the room has nothing to say In the space between the traffic And the keys outside my place I don’t call, I don’t fight it I just let the feeling stay You keep showing up in the quiet Then you leave before the day Mm Before the day I don’t need a sign I don’t need forever If you came by tonight We could sit there together No promises to make Nothing left to prove I’d just move my coat And make some room for you You keep showing up in the quiet But tonight you look the same Like you’re standing in the doorway With the rain across your face I won’t ask you where your heart is I won’t ask you if you’ll stay You keep showing up in the quiet And I still move out of the way Coffee going cold again Morning coming through the blinds I thought I was doing better Maybe I am Most of the time
