lyrics
You came in from the porch with snow on your cuffs Set a paper sack down by the Denison mug You saw the sink full of plates and my hands Twisting that dish towel till it felt like sand I said, "I'm fine," with my shoes still on You leaned on the frame and just stayed that long Didn’t ask twice, didn’t make me explain Just cut the orange in half and took the rain You slid the matchbook back in the drawer Moved my keys from the stool to the front by the door And your eyes said more than my mouth could say Like you had been waiting for that kind of day You knew it first You knew it first You knew it first You knew it first Before I broke Before I spoke You knew it first You knew it first On High Street, I stood by the carryout line With my collar pulled up and a quarter past nine You texted, "Got milk?" with a photo of home Of the red porch light and the rake by the stone You heard it in silence, the gap in my call The way I said "later" and meant not at all So you left the lasagna on the top shelf low And the fork in the foil like a little signpost You knew it first You knew it first You knew it first You knew it first Before I broke Before I spoke You knew it first You knew it first At the Kroger lot, under cart corral shade You handed me gum and the receipt you’d saved No speech, no fix, just your hand on my sleeve Like a window cracked when the room can’t breathe You knew it first You knew it first You knew it first You knew it first Before I broke Before I spoke You knew it first You knew it first
