Half a Sandwich
Style: Country waltz

[Verse 1]
A paper plate beside the sink
Half a sandwich, going stale
You left it there and went to work
I never mind the trail

[Chorus]
Maeve, you don't need to try so hard
I love you slow, I love you plain
Even the mess that you leave behind
Maeve, feels more like sun than rain

[Verse 2]
You always laugh before you finish
Half your sentence gets away
I fill the rest in with your name
That's just how we talk these days

[Pre-chorus]
I've watched you move around this kitchen
Learned every habit, every sound
Now I can't picture quiet without you

[Chorus]
Maeve, you don't need to try so hard
I love you slow, I love you plain
Even the mess that you leave behind
Maeve, feels more like sun than rain

[Bridge]
Some loves burn like a house on fire
Ours just sits here, steady, warm
You don't have to be my rescue
You're just the calm after the storm

[Chorus]
Maeve, you don't need to try so hard
I love you slow, I love you plain
Even the mess that you leave behind
Maeve, feels more like sun than rain

[Outro]
That plate's still sitting by the sink
I'll leave it there a while for you
