[Intro] [Coffee mug set on table] [Spoon taps twice] [Heart] Nothing happened today. [Crowd Member] YET! [Heart] No. That's the problem with you people. [Crowd laughs] Nothing happened. And it was fucking wonderful. [Acoustic guitar enters] [Verse 1] Didn't get a call Didn't get a sign Didn't see my name Running underneath the news at nine Made some coffee Washed a plate Sat beside the window Till the morning got late Spent half my life Waiting for the day Everything would change And I'd finally get to say— "There. That's it. That's what all that waiting was for." Funny thing— I think it happened Tuesday And nobody knocked on the door [Pre-Chorus] No parade No bell No voice saying, "You've arrived" Just caught myself living a life I'd only ever described [Chorus] Nothing happened today [Crowd] NOTHING HAPPENED! [Heart] Coffee got cold Sun crossed the room And nobody needed saving by noon Nothing happened today [Crowd] NOTHING HAPPENED! [Heart] No countdown No warning No price left to pay Just a life that used to be someday Being Tuesday today [Band begins building] [Heart] Oh, here it comes— [Band immediately drops back] [Crowd laughs] Nope. Nothing. [Verse 2] Called somebody up Said, "Don't need a thing" They said, "You okay?" I said, "Better than okay. I got absolutely nothing to bring." [Crowd laughs] Looked around the house At the walls At the chair At all those things I'd spent years building toward And realized— I wasn't outside anymore Looking through the window at the plans I was standing in the kitchen Coffee in my hands [Heart pauses] That'll mess with you. [Pre-Chorus] I thought arrival would be louder Thought I'd recognize the sound Turns out you can reach the place you're going And still need somebody to point out— "Hey. Look around." [Chorus] Nothing happened today [Crowd] NOTHING HAPPENED! Coffee got cold Sun crossed the room And nobody needed saving by noon Nothing happened today [Crowd] NOTHING HAPPENED! No countdown No warning No price left to pay Just a life that used to be someday Being Tuesday today [Instrumental Break] [Upright bass settles into deeper groove] [Spoon taps mug] [Heart] All right. This is normally where something profound happens. [Band holds] [Crowd waits] [Heart] ... Nope. [Crowd laughs] [Heart] Tuesday. [Bridge] Somewhere there's a man talking to a chalkboard Somewhere there's a truck with room to spare Somewhere there's a chair beside a window Somewhere somebody finally left the waiting room there I thought they were all trying to get somewhere Thought every road needed an end Maybe they were only trying to get me here Where nothing needs to begin [Band starts a dramatic rise] [Crowd cheers] [Heart] Don't you fucking do it. [Band stops] [Crowd erupts] [Heart] We don't need fireworks every time we understand something. [Quiet acoustic guitar] Sometimes... you just notice. [Final Chorus] [Heart] Nothing happened today [Crowd] NOTHING HAPPENED! [Heart] Nobody called Nobody came Nothing exploded Nothing changed Nothing happened today [Crowd] NOTHING HAPPENED! [Heart] And for once in my life I didn't need it to [Crowd quiets] Just coffee Just sunlight Just people I love And absolutely nothing I had to become [Pause] [Crowd Member] THAT'S IT? [Heart] That's it. [Crowd Member] THAT'S THE SONG? [Heart] That's the whole fucking song. [Crowd laughter] [Outro] [Coffee mug set down] [Heart] You know what took me the longest to get to? [Pause] Here. [Acoustic guitar] Not tomorrow. Not someday. Not almost. Just... here. [Spoon taps mug once] [Heart] See you Wednesday.
