Another Chair

[Verse 1] I set the table for two Then three more came through A laugh, a name, a ring A hand on the edge of everything A plate for the old friend A cup for the new one I kept pulling up wood Like my heart had room for everyone [Pre-Chorus] Now the corners are crowded And the edges lean in I look at the places Where the silence used to sit [Chorus] Another chair, another chair I pull one up, I pull one up Another chair, another chair I want to give enough Another chair, another chair Tell me where my hands should go Another chair, another chair When all these hearts say home [Verse 2] You tell me your hard days I tell you mine too And each new story Adds a little more weight to the room I love how it grows I love what it means But some nights I count the faces And I lose sight of me [Pre-Chorus] Now the corners are crowded And the edges lean in I look at the places Where the silence used to sit [Chorus] Another chair, another chair I pull one up, I pull one up Another chair, another chair I want to give enough Another chair, another chair Tell me where my hands should go Another chair, another chair When all these hearts say home [Bridge] If I miss your eyes If I answer late If I grow too tired Please don't call it fate I’m learning the table Can bend under care Love keeps bringing company And I keep making room there [Final Chorus] Another chair, another chair I pull one up, I pull one up Another chair, another chair I want to give enough Another chair, another chair Take my hand and stay with me Another chair, another chair We can share the ache and the tea
