[Verse 1]
Your mug is by the kettle, mine is by the sink
We trade the little updates, then forget to ask what we think
You fold the towels in the hallway, I make room beside the door
We know each other's footsteps, not what we're walking toward
[Pre-Chorus]
We pass beneath the same old ceiling
Like guests who know the house
[Chorus]
I feel like your roommate in our own home
Two keys on the counter, two lives on their phones
We share the rent, the rooms, the quiet after ten
But I miss the way you let me in
You’re right here, and somehow far away
I don’t want to get used to living this way
[Verse 2]
The dinner plates are stacked up, the television talks
You tell me what the neighbors did; I tell you how work was
Then one of us says “early,” and the other says “all right”
We leave a little space between us on the same side of the night
[Pre-Chorus]
I keep rehearsing honest words
Then swallow them somehow
[Chorus]
I feel like your roommate in our own home
Two keys on the counter, two lives on their phones
We share the rent, the rooms, the quiet after ten
But I miss the way you let me in
You’re right here, and somehow far away
I don’t want to get used to living this way
[Bridge]
Can we sit here without fixing anything?
Can I ask what’s been heavy on your mind?
I don’t need a perfect answer tonight
Just your hand finding mine
[Final Chorus]
I feel like your roommate in our own home
But I still remember when this place was ours alone
Let’s leave the dishes, let the evening wait
Come sit beside me before it gets too late
You’re right here; I don’t want to look away
I want to find us in this house again
[Outro]
Your mug is by the kettle, mine is by the sink
Come sit with me a minute
Tell me what you think
