Verse 1

The kettle finished

and no one wrote it down

The window held the same oak tree

it held in March

We moved through rooms

we've memorized by feel

Turned the heat up two degrees

then turned it back

Verse 2

Somewhere a cart wheeled down a hallway

Somewhere a light stayed on through lunch

We checked the time

and the time was just the time

Nothing collapsed

Nothing announced itself

Chorus

We were here

even when we didn't say so

We were here

the way furniture is here

Keeping the shape of the room

Waiting for a reason to be notable

Just

here

Bridge

There's a version of this day

that nobody will remember

There's a coffee cup

still rinsed and upside down

and the afternoon moved through it

like it moves through everything

without asking

Outro

The day didn't need us to witness it

It ran

It finished

It was enough

How did it make you feel?

Help shape the next song.
