[Verse 1] I leave the porch light burning late Though nobody said they’d come The kettle clicks, the hallway stays As still as folded laundry I tell myself I’m doing fine Then check the road again Like joy might miss the turn somehow And need a sign from me [Pre-Chorus] I’ve carried every day this far With both hands full of doubt Maybe I can set one down And let the door stay open [Chorus] If happiness is making its way here I hope it finds the house I’m in I’m tired of asking when it’s coming I’m learning how to let it in Let it find me in the ordinary With the dishes and the bills I don’t need a grand arrival Just a moment that feels still [Verse 2] There’s a crack across the blue cup I keep using every day A neighbor waves from the corner And I wave back, then stay The small things don’t erase the hurt They don’t have to pretend But something in the afternoon Sits with me like a friend [Pre-Chorus] I’ve carried every day this far And maybe that counts too Maybe hope is not a map But room enough for something new [Chorus] If happiness is making its way here I hope it finds the house I’m in I’m tired of asking when it’s coming I’m learning how to let it in Let it find me in the ordinary With the dishes and the bills I don’t need a grand arrival Just a moment that feels still [Bridge] I won’t chase it down the highway I won’t bargain with the sky I’ll leave a little space beside me For the day it wanders by And if it comes in pieces I will take them as they are A laugh, a meal, a softer morning A light left on, not far [Final Chorus] If happiness is making its way here I hope it finds the house I’m in I’m tired of asking when it’s coming I’m learning how to let it in Let it find me in the ordinary In the breath between the bills I don’t need a grand arrival Just a moment that feels still [Outro] The porch light keeps its quiet watch I’m here; the door is still
