[Verse 1] I left the porch light on again Though nobody said they’d come The kettle clicks, the hallway holds The shape of everyone I’ve learned to fold my coat just so To make the chair look full And tell the morning, “Maybe today,” Like asking makes it true [Pre-Chorus] I don’t need a grand arrival I don’t need the whole sky changed Just one small thing that stays awhile And doesn’t ask me to explain [Chorus] Maybe happiness will find me here With its shoes wet from the rain Maybe it will knock without a reason And sit down just the same I’ve been waiting, not believing Still I leave the doorway clear Maybe happiness will find me here Maybe it will find me here [Verse 2] The grocery bag split by the steps Oranges rolled to the curb A stranger stooped and handed one back No speech, no perfect words I carried that small kindness home And set it by the sink It wasn’t proof, it wasn’t fate But it gave me room to think [Pre-Chorus] I don’t need a grand arrival I don’t need the whole sky changed Just one small thing that stays awhile And doesn’t ask me to explain [Chorus] Maybe happiness will find me here With its shoes wet from the rain Maybe it will knock without a reason And sit down just the same I’ve been waiting, not believing Still I leave the doorway clear Maybe happiness will find me here Maybe it will find me here [Bridge] If it comes in pieces, let it A warm cup, a name remembered A day I make it through without Calling that a failure If it comes late, let it come late I can leave the lamp on low I am tired, I am trying There is still a place to go [Final Chorus] Maybe happiness will find me here With its shoes wet from the rain Maybe it will knock without a reason And sit down just the same I’ve been waiting, still believing There’s a little room in here Maybe happiness will find me here Maybe it will find me here [Outro] I leave the doorway clear I leave the doorway clear
