Chipped Mug, Steady Hands
Style: Blues slow dance

[Verse 1]
You set our brushes in that old mug
chipped on the edge but it still stands
I watch you do it every night
and something in my chest understands

[Chorus]
Joanne, you never needed grand
just steady hands and time to spend
I'd know your shape here in the dark
Joanne, my closest friend

[Verse 2]
You hum a bit while brushing your teeth
off key, but I would never say
I love the small, unfinished things
the way you fold into the day

[Pre-chorus]
No one sees the tiny proof
the mug, the sink, the same routine
but I keep counting all of it

[Chorus]
Joanne, you never needed grand
just steady hands and time to spend
I'd know your shape here in the dark
Joanne, my closest friend

[Bridge]
Some nights the water runs too long
and still you wait for me to come
that kind of patience is the love
that outlasts every louder one

[Chorus]
Joanne, you never needed grand
just steady hands and time to spend
I'd know your shape here in the dark
Joanne, my closest friend

[Outro]
Two brushes leaning in one mug
still standing close when the light goes
