Two Mugs Gone Cold
Style: Jazz standard

[Verse 1]
Your mug sits cooling by the window
mine goes cold across the room
we haven't spoken in an hour
and still there's nowhere I'd rather be

[Pre-chorus]
Some quiet says the love is done
ours never reads that way
it just gets easier to hold

[Chorus]
Enid, I could sit like this for hours
this hush is nothing like defeat
you look up and I feel it happen
Enid, that's the part I can't repeat

[Verse 2]
You trace the rim without a word
I watch your hands and understand
the silence isn't empty space
it's just your love in its own hand

[Chorus]
Enid, I could sit like this for hours
this hush is nothing like defeat
you look up and I feel it happen
Enid, that's the part I can't repeat

[Bridge]
No need to fill the air between us
no need to say it twice
this steam that fades and disappears
still knows to leave us warm

[Chorus]
Enid, I could sit like this for hours
this hush is nothing like defeat
you look up and I feel it happen
Enid, that's the part I can't repeat

[Outro]
The mugs go cold on their own tables
but you and I stay close as ever
