An acoustic guitar by a sunlit window, wildflowers outside, a lamp, clock and notebook on the desk

Lyrics

The joke was dumb, I laughed for real
The kind of laugh you can't conceal
And when the table laughed along
It didn't feel like being wrong

Come out where they can see your face
I saved you an easy place
Nobody flinched, nobody stared
The morning's better when it's shared

I played her half a half-done song
The rusty chords still coming wrong
She closed her eyes and listened through
Like broken things could still be true

Come out where they can see your face
I saved you an easy place
Nobody flinched, nobody stared
The morning's better when it's shared

The careful one still steers the week
He locks the doors, he keeps us fed
But now he rolls the windows down
And lets me sing us home instead

Come out where they can see your face
I saved you an easy place
Nobody flinched, nobody stared
The morning's better when it's shared

The morning's better when it's shared
The morning's better when it's shared
