Gerald & You
[Verse 1] You're up before the sun, steam rising from the cups, You know their names, their orders, never mix them up. And when you get home late, the dishes need to wait for whoever got murdered in 1988. Gerald's on the sill, still quiet, still alive, the smallest kind of proof that gentle things survive. [Chorus] Maya, I see you — the loud laugh, the stolen sheets, the cactus on the windowsill, the coffee on your sleeve. Every little thing you are, the strange and the routine, I fell in love with all of it — even Gerald. [Verse 2] You take the blanket every night and never say you're sorry, and honestly that's fine because I love the way you're for it. Your laugh fills up the room before the joke is even done, too big for any quiet place and brighter than the sun. I don't need the highlights reel or anything that shines, I just need the real of you — the ordinary, mine. [Chorus] Maya, I see you — the loud laugh, the stolen sheets, the cactus on the windowsill, the coffee on your sleeve. Every little thing you are, the strange and the routine, I fell in love with all of it — even Gerald.
