lyrics

green tea, slowly sipped
calloused fingertips are calmly reaching across the board
tapped out a month ago
packed up, coming home a little different than before
make some jokes about the price of rent
cut off whatever question is next
put on a smile, perk up those lips
green tea, slowly sipped

cold beer in the fridge
drink two, scratch the itch
then take notice of the hour
hands up, volunteer to drive home
turn left here
drop 'em off & park the car
tiptoe downstairs so nobody knows
exactly what time you get home
they wouldn't care - but old habits stick
cold beer in the fridge

hot knives on the stove
blinds up, windows closed
the smell of sawdust in the air
walk back in the rain
"you'll catch your death!" someone exclaims
which is pretty funny, given this year
narrate every action in your brain
to prove you're movin', you're okay
whatever gets you through the day
walk back in the rain

walk back in the rain
hot knives on the stove
cold beer in the fridge
green tea, slowly sipped
