Every Quiet Thing
[Verse 1] You clock out late from a long hallway of hurt, Little hands you held all day still on your shirt, You walk through the door with nothing left to give, And the first thing you ask is how did I live. That worn-out silver on your wrist catches the light, Portugal in a charm, our very first night, I notice these things, every one, every time, The quiet way you love — it undoes me inside. [Chorus] Mara, I see you, I see every part, The nurse, the dreamer, the laugh in the dark, The dog on the screen that makes you fall apart, I notice every quiet thing — that's where you live in my heart. [Verse 2] You've watched that movie so many times the spine won't close, You still cry at the ending like nobody knows, And God, that laugh that fills the whole theater row — You never once lower it, and I love you for that most. There's beauty in the small things you don't think I see, The way you come home spent but still show up for me, So here on this day I want you to know, Every quiet thing you do — it's the whole show. [Chorus] Mara, I see you, I see every part, The nurse, the dreamer, the laugh in the dark, The dog on the screen that makes you fall apart, I notice every quiet thing — that's where you live in my heart.
