[Verse 1]
Your blue cup’s still beside the sink
A ring of tea gone cold and brown
I reach to move it, then I stop
As if you might come back around

[Pre-Chorus]
The hallway keeps your coat-shaped space
I pass it softly every day

[Chorus]
I miss you in the ordinary
In the towel you left to dry
In the little things I never knew
Would teach me how to say goodbye
I hold my breath when evening settles
Like the door might change its mind
I miss you in the ordinary
And I miss you all the time

[Verse 2]
The garden leans toward where you stood
The mint has taken over half the bed
I tell the neighbors you’re doing fine
Then carry home the words I never said

[Pre-Chorus]
Your name still catches in my throat
Some days I let it, some I don’t

[Chorus]
I miss you in the ordinary
In the towel you left to dry
In the little things I never knew
Would teach me how to say goodbye
I hold my breath when evening settles
Like the door might change its mind
I miss you in the ordinary
And I miss you all the time

[Bridge]
If love could make a place for you
You’d be here in the kitchen light
I’d tell you all the small, dumb things
I saved for when the time was right

[Final Chorus]
I miss you in the ordinary
In the cup beside the sink
In every quiet, patient minute
When I almost start to think
That I could turn and find you laughing
With your sleeves pushed to your wrists
I miss you in the ordinary
And nothing feels more real than this

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