Kitchen Light at 2 A.M.

[Verse 1]
Your sweater on the back of that old chair
Two mugs on the counter going cold
Bills stacked in a rubber band
Sideways
On a life we never quite controlled

You’re sleeping with the hallway light still on
Dog curled up at your feet in a ball
I’m staring at the calendar on the fridge
Like it’s gonna tell me anything at all

[Chorus]
Under this kitchen light at 2 a.m
I almost said the words I wrote
Then never sent
Love is in the little things you never meant
Cracked plates
Shared names
And the rent
Under this kitchen light at 2 a.m
I’m holding every quiet fight
Every “maybe then”
If this is all we get
I’d choose it all again
Under this kitchen light at 2 a.m

[Verse 2]
Your laughter still lives in the silverware drawer
Red wine stain on your Sunday dress
We got taught to keep our hearts in order
But we learned how to live in a mess

You’re dreaming while the radio hums low
Some forgotten song slips through the wall
I trace the little scar on your left hand
From the night we almost lost it all

[Bridge]
[Soft piano joins
Drums fall to a hush]
I think of every slammed door
Every drive alone
Every “I’m fine” spoken like a stone
Then you turn in your sleep
Reach out for me
Even in your dreams
You won’t let me leave

[Builds with bass
Brushed drums
And harmonies swelling]
And I break
Just a little
Just enough to see
Every broken bit is where your light found me

[Chorus]
Under this kitchen light at 2 a.m
I finally say the words I wrote
Then never sent
Love is in the little things you never meant
Cracked plates
Shared names
And the rent
Under this kitchen light at 2 a.m
If this is all we get
I’d take it all again
Every almost
Every ache
Every “back then”
Under this kitchen light at 2 a.m
(oh, at 2 a.m.)
