Let it be

You laugh at my ugly mug
Say it’s brave how I still use it
You steal all the sheets at night
Then swear you never do it
Your phone full of half-baked pics
Of me blinking
Mid-sentence
You say
“These are all my favorites”
And somehow I believe it

I never liked the quiet
Till you started talking in your sleep
Telling secrets to the ceiling
That you’d never tell to me

First coffee
Then you
That’s how my morning goes (every time)
You’re the line I fall into
When the world moves out of time
If I get one good thing
In all this mess I stumble through
Let it be
Let it be you
(yeah, let it be you)

You hum wrong words to songs
But your version always fits
You cry at the happy parts
Say you’re wired opposite
You write notes on sticky stars
Hide them in my coat sleeves
Tiny maps back to your heart
I find them when I leave

I never planned on staying
Till you left your book beside my bed
Now every plot I’m chasing
Keeps circling back to what you said

First coffee
Then you
That’s how my morning goes (every time)
You’re the line I fall into
When the world moves out of time
If I get one good thing
In all this mess I stumble through
Let it be
Let it be you
(oh, let it be you)

One day the colors fade
Plans all fall through
If I forget my own name
I’ll remember you
Your hand on my wrist
Like it’s always been there
Saying
“We’ve got this
We’ve got time to spare”

First coffee
Then you
That’s how my morning goes (every time)
You’re the home I run back to
When the world steps out of line
If I get one good thing
In all these years I wander through
Let it be
Let it be you
(let it be you)
Let it be you
