[Verse 1] Somewhere between the last slow song And the way you eased away I finally caught what I might’ve missed In everything you didn’t say Maybe I read the room all wrong Maybe I got ahead somehow Either way, I caught the change And I was listening now [Verse 2] You said you didn’t wanna rush it And I thought I understood So I tried my hand at being brave Figured maybe bold was good But it landed somewhere sideways And that’s all I needed to know No awkward little post-game talk I grabbed my things to go [Chorus] No harm, no foul No hearts on the ground Sometimes you take a little chance And it doesn’t come around No need for an autopsy No villain in this town I gave it a try You needed some space No harm, no foul [Verse 3] I crossed that wet black asphalt Back the way that I had come Porch light fading behind me My little adventure done Kicked off my shoes inside the door Turned the shower good and hot Let the steam take the rain away And laughed about the whole damn plot [Bridge] Then I crawled beneath my trusty blanket Hair still damp, feet finally warm Started making tomorrow’s list While the last rain left the storm Work and errands, things to finish All the ordinary stuff Funny how the world keeps turning And sometimes that’s enough [Final Chorus] No harm, no foul Nothing broken, nothing lost A little nerve, a little rain That’s hardly such a cost No grand goodbye No meaning to announce Sometimes you take a little chance Then life just carries on [Outro] I reached over, turned the bedside lamp down low Thought, Well… that was interesting. Then remembered what I had to do tomorrow And went to sleep.
