Lyrics
Did you see the ashes in the yard?
Remnants of the time that we were gone
Did you see my favorite teacup set?
I left it in my grandma's cabinet
I like to sit in the mornings
With a coffee and watch the birds
Come for the feed I leave them
Put the cups slowly down not to disturb
Over the weekend I washed the windows
They're looking cleaner now
I don't even mind you can see into mine
From the neighbors we'll figure it out
My neighbor in doubt
We'll figure it out
Come through the undertow
Last night I saw your face through your window
And you like me looked happy to be home
TV glowing, clothes out on the line
Phone to your ear, olives in the brine
I went ahead and set the table
Left open the front door
Don't worry if you've got nothing to bring
I've got plenty enough for one more
Go ahead and leave your dishes
I'll get to them later on
I'd rather a dirty kitchen
Than not a kitchen at all
My neighbor in doubt
We'll figure it out
Come through the undertow
I remember a time we couldn't combine
Our shared design of home
This time now no one's left to drown
It's you and I or none
My neighbor in doubt
We'll figure it out
Come through the undertow
I look forward to kick off my slippers
Lower myself into clean bed sheets
And to waking up in the morning
To the birds looking for seed
