lyrics

I missed the bus on High Street

Rain soaked my paper bag

My shoes made brown lines

On the floor at Easton Mall

I dropped my coins by the meter

You stooped down in your coat

You handed me a five

Then said, "Keep moving, man"

I laughed with my wet sleeves

You nodded like it was nothing

The whole line held still

While I found my change

You held the door

You held the door

You held the door

You held the door

My bad day let go

At 4:12, I bought coffee

From a cracked paper cup

The lid kept slipping off

And my hands shook on the bus

You saved me half a seat

By the window with the gum stain

You pointed at my bag

Said, "You can set that here"

Your thumb had flour on it

From a brown bag muffin

You smiled at my coat

Like you'd known me for years

You held the door

You held the door

You held the door

You held the door

My bad day let go

In the laundromat heat

Your kindness still rings

Quarter by quarter

The dryer kept turning

I think about your voice

Over the change machine hum

How one small hand

Can steady the room

You held the door

You held the door

You held the door

You held the door

My bad day let go
