Verse 1

We left a cup by the window

and no one came back for it

The afternoon moved through the curtains

and counted itself out

A drawer was opened, then closed

Something was almost decided

The kettle had already cooled

before we thought to pour it

Chorus

We were here, we were somewhere

moving through a Tuesday

Not waiting, not arriving

just breathing past the hours

The calendar held its number

the floorboards held our weight

We were here and mostly quiet

and that was enough today

Verse 2

Somewhere a tap dripped its rhythm

into a basin below

We read three lines of something

then forgot what page we were on

The dog settled into its corner

the blue coat hung on the door

Nothing was lost, nothing accomplished

only the afternoon — and the hour before

Bridge

Not every day arrives with a question

not every hour needs an answer

Some days just move their furniture

slowly from room to room

We don't need to name the feeling

don't need to save the date

some hours belong to no one

and they're not the ones we waste

Outro

The cup is still by the window

the curtain still holds the light

We were here, almost nowhere

and the day was quiet and right
