[Verse 1] You tell the cashier how your mother’s doing She tells you her tomatoes finally took A paper bag gives way beside the doorway We laugh and gather apples from the floor [Pre-Chorus] The plane glass holds a town beneath us Your sleeve brushes mine; we watch it shrink [Chorus] This is the good stuff, right here, right now Your familiar voice in the checkout crowd A plain old morning, a cup, a chair I didn’t know how much I’d miss being there This is the good stuff, right here, right now Say it again before the day runs out [Verse 2] The kitchen clock is late by seven minutes You leave your blue mug by the sink You hum the tune you always miss the ending of I let the little moment linger long enough [Pre-Chorus] The airport window catches your reflection You point below and say, “That’s home” [Chorus] This is the good stuff, right here, right now Your familiar voice in the checkout crowd A plain old morning, a cup, a chair I didn’t know how much I’d miss being there This is the good stuff, right here, right now Say it again before the day runs out [Bridge] One day these small things will be stories Your coat on the hook, your keys in the bowl So stay a minute by the open cupboard Tell me the part I already know [Final Chorus] This is the good stuff, right here, right now Your familiar voice in the checkout crowd A plain old morning, a cup, a chair I didn’t know how much I’d miss being there This is the good stuff, right here, right now Say it again before the day runs out [Outro] Before the day runs out Stay here, stay here
