lyrics

(instrumental, warm)

The radio's been broken since about ninety-eight
You never got it fixed and neither did I
We hum the songs we think are probably on
And get them wrong and never wonder why

Thirty-one years of mornings (of mornings)
Same chair, same cup, same light
You put your hand flat on the table
And I put mine on top, all right

Kitchen radio, kitchen radio
Playing nothing and we sing along to it
Kitchen radio, kitchen radio
Every song we've got, we made it up

They tell you love goes quiet and they mean it as a warning
Nobody warns you quiet is the good part
I have played to two thousand people in a shed in Tulsa
And I'd trade the lot for one more silent morning

(solo guitar, imperfect)
Marry me again. Same kitchen. No guests.
You'll say I'm being ridiculous. Say yes anyway.
(BAND BACK IN)

Kitchen radio, kitchen radio
Playing nothing and we sing along to it
Kitchen radio, kitchen radio
Every song we've got, we made it up

(kitchen radio...)
