Kitchen Light Polaroids

[Verse 1]
You were barefoot in my sweater
Laughing at a joke that wasn’t good
Burnt toast
Late again
Whatever
You drew a heart in the steam like you always would
[Pre-Chorus]
I never knew every tiny thing
Would be the scene that my mind replays
I didn’t film a single frame
But it’s all stuck on my brain
[Chorus]
I keep your face
In kitchen light Polaroids
Little snapshots of an ordinary joy
Just you and me
And dishes in the sink
Who knew the smallest moments
Would be the ones that stay and sting
I keep your face
In kitchen light Polaroids
And I can’t throw them away
[Verse 2]
There’s a grocery list on the counter
Half your handwriting
Half of mine
I still buy the cereal you hated
Just to feel you standing in the aisle
[Pre-Chorus]
Friends all say I should “move on”
Like it’s a box I can check someday
But every time I lock the door
I hear your keys and your tired “hey”
[Chorus]
I keep your face
In kitchen light Polaroids
Little snapshots of an ordinary joy
Just you and me
And dishes in the sink
Who knew the smallest moments
Would be the ones that stay and sting
I keep your face
In kitchen light Polaroids
And I can’t throw them away
[Bridge]
Maybe love’s not fireworks
Maybe love’s two forks in the drawer
Your old shoes by the mat
Your jacket on the floor
If I could take one more picture
It’d be nothing much at all
Just you humming in a hurry
Trying not to miss my call (oh oh)
[Chorus]
I keep your face
In kitchen light Polaroids
Little snapshots of an ordinary joy
Just you and me
And dishes in the sink
Who knew the quiet moments
Would be the loudest when you leave
I keep your face
In kitchen light Polaroids
And I can’t throw them
Can’t throw them away
