Verse 1 I hear the kettle click But leave it for a while The room is quiet enough already I don't mind staying here There's a book beside the window Halfway through a page It isn't going anywhere So neither am I Pre-Chorus Some things don't need finishing The moment that they start Chorus Slow steps, darling Leave a little for tomorrow There are songs I haven't written And days I've yet to spend I don't need to hold the whole day In the palm of my hand Some things are better waiting Than ending where they began Verse 2 I hear children laughing Further down the road By the time I reach the corner They're already heading home The light comes on next door Someone's putting dinner on Funny how the evening settles Without asking me along Bridge I used to think the quiet Needed filling up somehow Now I leave a chair beside me Even when no one's around Tomorrow doesn't owe me Everything at once Maybe leaving something waiting Is where the living starts Final Chorus Slow steps, darling Leave a little for tomorrow There are songs I haven't written And days I've yet to spend I don't need to know the ending Before I've read the page Some things only find you When you make a little space outro I'll close the book beside me Before I reach the end There's always something waiting When tomorrow comes again
