Blue Mug Morning

You leave your shoes by the door

And your scarf on the chair

Half a cup in the sink

Like you were really there

You laugh with your whole face

When my bad jokes land

And somehow my quiet

Feels better in your hands

You know my moods by the shade

Of my voice at noon

You pull me back in line

Like a magnet to a spoon

And every small thing

Turns gold when you’re near

I don’t say it enough

So I’m saying it clear

My girl, my girl

You’re my calm, my wild

My girl, my girl

You make hard days mild

Hold me close

Say my name like that

My girl, my girl

I keep coming back

You steal my hoodie

Then wear it like a crown

You dance in the kitchen

When the rain comes down

You know the short roads

From my pride to my chest

And when I fall apart

You still love me best

You know my moods by the shade

Of my voice at noon

You pull me back in line

Like a magnet to a spoon

And every small thing

Turns gold when you’re near

I don’t say it enough

So I’m saying it clear

My girl, my girl

You’re my calm, my wild

My girl, my girl

You make hard days mild

Hold me close

Say my name like that

My girl, my girl

I keep coming back

If the world gets loud

You’re the reason I stay

If my hands start shaking

You don’t look away

You make a home

Out of one small room

And I could lose it all

Still find you in the moon

My girl, my girl

You’re my calm, my wild

My girl, my girl

You make hard days mild

Hold me close

Say my name like that

My girl, my girl

I keep coming back
