[Verse 1]
Your blue mug’s still beside the sink
I leave it there, though I know why
The map you folded by the door
Still has your pencil mark in blue

[Pre-Chorus]
The train runs out beyond the fields
And carries all the towns I know
I count the miles by kitchen clocks
That never seem to move

[Chorus]
You’re far enough that days feel wide
I save the small things I would tell you
The pear tree split its first green leaf
The neighbor’s dog still waits at five
I miss the ordinary parts
The quiet proof that you were here

[Verse 2]
Your old scarf hangs behind the chair
It smells like rain and cedar soap
I heard your laugh in someone’s voice
Then watched the moment disappear

[Pre-Chorus]
I keep your postcard on the shelf
The corner’s soft from being held
Some nights I almost call you twice
Then let the room stay still

[Chorus]
You’re far enough that days feel wide
I save the small things I would tell you
The pear tree split its first green leaf
The neighbor’s dog still waits at five
I miss the ordinary parts
The quiet proof that you were here

[Bridge]
When your new street gets its first snow
And mine turns dark before the dawn
I hope you find a window seat
And someplace warm to set your coat

[Final Chorus]
You’re far enough that days feel wide
Still, every small thing travels toward you
The pear tree holds its green leaves now
The neighbor’s dog still waits at five
I miss the ordinary parts
And keep a little space for you

[Outro]
Your blue mug’s still beside the sink
I leave it there
