Someday the Little things

[Intro] (slow guitar arpeggio, faint rain) …another night… [Verse 1] Clock on the wall keeps count of the hours I talk to the dark like it’s got the power To bring you here, to sit on this couch To laugh at the way the streetlight slouches I make too much coffee for one person’s cup Leave the second mug out just in case you show up The rain on the glass sounds like someone’s knocking But it’s only the night, and it’s always mocking [Pre-Chorus] I keep the porch light on Even though you’re not coming I keep the record spinning The same old song [Chorus] Someday someone Will know the little things How I hum when I’m folding laundry How I smile at the smell of spring Someday someone Will stay through the quiet Will see me unravel and still call it beautiful Someday someone Will want all my small, stupid moments And make them worthwhile Someday… someone [Verse 2] I watch the same moon you’re probably seeing Wonder if you’re awake and quietly dreaming Of someone like me, who leaves notes on the fridge Who saves the last slice of cake just in case you exist I leave space in the bed, I leave room in the drawer I leave the door unlocked a little more Than I probably should, but hope is stubborn And lonely nights are long, and the heart keeps running [Bridge – softer, almost spoken] Maybe you’re out there folding someone else’s laundry Maybe you’re humming the same song I play too loudly Maybe you’re waiting for someone who notices That you always leave one light on Just in case [Final Chorus – layered harmony, voice cracking slightly] Someday someone Will know the little things How the blanket feels better when it’s shared How silence can mean everything Someday someone Will stay through the quiet Will see every crack and still call me home Someday someone Will want all my small, stupid moments And make them worthwhile Someday… someone [Outro] (guitar slows, rain softens) …someday… (very quiet) …please let it be soon… [End - 4:15]
