[Verse 1] You tap your teeth on the coffee cup I tap my foot on the kitchen tile We miss the beat Then we line back up Crooked steps Same crooked smile [Pre-Chorus] Your keys on the table My coat on the chair We live off‑tempo But somehow we’re there [Chorus] Syncopated matrimony Never on the one but we still feel right Two hearts tripping over Monday mornings Still landing on the same downbeat at night Syncopated matrimony All our little stutters turning into grace Every late apology Every late‑night story Falls back into place [Verse 2] You love to talk when the movie starts I lose my point halfway through a fight We cut across each other’s hearts Yet leave the porch light on all night [Pre-Chorus] Your jokes in the silence My hand on your knee We rush We drag it Still find the harmony [Chorus] [Bridge] Maybe we’re a clapping crowd Never perfect Always loud Miss a step Then meet halfway Still choosing this off‑beat every day [Chorus]
