Lyrics
[Verse 1] The blue mug’s on the table By the window seat for two Your scarf still on the hook there Like you just stepped out the room I still fold your old sweater By the chair where you would lie And the floorboards keep your footsteps In the corners of my mind [Pre-Chorus] I reach for you in small things The sugar, the spoon, the steam And every quiet evening Turns your name into a dream [Chorus] Come back in little pieces Come back in my hand Come back with that soft smile That I still understand Blue mugs, blue nights I hold what used to be Come back in little pieces And stay a while with me [Verse 2] The lamp makes honey shadows On the book you never read I leave the page half open Like a thought I couldn't tread Your laugh lives in the hallway When the kettle starts to sing And the house leans in to listen To the shape of everything [Pre-Chorus] I reach for you in small things The sugar, the spoon, the steam And every quiet evening Turns your name into a dream [Chorus] Come back in little pieces Come back in my hand Come back with that soft smile That I still understand Blue mugs, blue nights I hold what used to be Come back in little pieces And stay a while with me [Bridge] If I keep the room tender Maybe grief will learn to rest Maybe time will fold your name in Like a letter to my chest So I hum into the morning And I set the table right For the part of you still lingering In the edges of the night [Chorus] Come back in little pieces Come back in my hand Come back with that soft smile That I still understand Blue mugs, blue nights I hold what used to be Come back in little pieces And stay a while with me
