lyrics

At seven-ten, my bus was late

Mascara streaked, I kicked the gate

My phone was dead, my head was loud

I stared at shoes in a coffee crowd

Then you slid me half your seat

Two wet napkins, a paper receipt

You said, "Hey, take a breath"

Like you knew I was one step from death

Small mercy, small mercy

Small mercy, small mercy

On a day this ugly

You made it less ugly

Small mercy, small mercy

Small mercy, small mercy

I didn't ask for help

But you still helped me out

By 7-Eleven, you bought me ice

For the cut on my thumb and my bad advice

You held the door while I fumbled my key

No big speech, just looked at me

Now my hoodie smells like rain

And your spare change still in my train

I walked home with my jaw unclenched

First time all day I felt less bent

Small mercy, small mercy

Small mercy, small mercy

On a day this ugly

You made it less ugly

Small mercy, small mercy

Small mercy, small mercy

I didn't ask for help

But you still helped me out

At the crosswalk by the taco shop

I almost cried, then I didn't stop

You were gone in the CVS light

But your good deed stuck all night

Small mercy, small mercy

Small mercy, small mercy

On a day this ugly

You made it less ugly

Small mercy, small mercy

Small mercy, small mercy

I didn't ask for help

But you still helped me out
