[Verse 1] We got coffee stains on the budget sheet And a jelly fingerprint right where the numbers meet Little shoes by the door in a crooked line Tiny rebels claiming every inch as mine [Pre-Chorus] The fridge is humming our anthem tonight While we argue if blue or green is the right night-light [Chorus] We’re building something real out of ordinary days Dishwasher cycles and Saturday parades Two mismatched socks and a half-broke swing Still we swear this is everything Yeah we’re planting roots in this messy little scene Future looks a lot like you, me, and routine [Verse 2] Remember when the cat knocked over Great-Grandma’s vase? We glued it back together with apologies and grace Now every crack tells the story we made About how love looks better a little bit frayed [Pre-Chorus] The bills keep coming like uninvited guests But we still dance in the kitchen in our Sunday best [Chorus] We’re building something real out of ordinary days Dishwasher cycles and Saturday parades Two mismatched socks and a half-broke swing Still we swear this is everything Yeah we’re planting roots in this messy little scene Future looks a lot like you, me, and routine [Bridge] One day they’ll ask how we did it, how we stayed We’ll laugh and say: “Mostly luck… and a lot of lemonade” From lemons we picked up along the way And the quiet nights we chose to stay [Final Chorus – softer first half, building] We’re building something real out of ordinary days Crayon on the wall that never quite goes away One more story, one more hug, one more dream Turns out this chaos is the real American dream Yeah we’re planting roots in this perfectly messy scene And the future keeps looking more like you, me… and routine [Outro – half spoken, half sung] So leave the light on, darlin’ We ain’t finished building yet…
