Same Room, Same Time

[Verse 1] Coffee cups on the counter Your old sweater on the chair Dog’s asleep by the doorway Sun sneaks in and finds your hair You hum along to the kettle Bare feet on the faded tile You say “you’re up early” I just watch you And I smile [Chorus] We’re in the same room Same time Letting the day roll in slow Nothing to chase Nowhere to drive Just watching our little world grow All of the big plans can wait I’m happy that you’re still mine Here in the same room Same time [Verse 2] Kids’ drawings on the fridge door Mail stacked under the keys Groceries still in their paper Your hand brushes against me You’re laughing at some old story I’ve heard a thousand times before But it lands a little different When you’re leaning on my shoulder [Chorus] [Bridge] [soft piano joins Low vocal register] Years go by in grocery lists Oil changes Midnight shifts Birthday cakes and band-aid kisses All the tiny Quiet gifts If this is all we ever get It’s more than I could ever need You beside me in the lamplight Breathing easy Breathing free [Chorus]
