  Verse 1

  Peas sliding down against the wire Cold tins stacked up higher and higher I reach past you for the soup You smile like you were the one I'd require

  Pre-chorus

  Nothing here is dressed up fine No candlelight, no perfect line Just you, right here, pulling me closer

  Chorus

  Carter, you make plain things shine Every ordinary hour feels like mine Nobody else could turn a Tuesday golden Carter, I keep choosing you, one more time

  Verse 2

  You laugh at how I read the labels Slow down every cart that's able We block the whole frozen aisle And I don't care, not even a fable

  Bridge

  Some folks wait for grand and rare I found mine in fluorescent glare You caught my eye by the tinned tomatoes And I knew right there

  Chorus

  Carter, you make plain things shine Every ordinary hour feels like mine Nobody else could turn a Tuesday golden Carter, I keep choosing you, one more time

  Outro

  Peas still sliding down the wire You're still the thing I most desire

  Verse 1

  Wet leaves cling to the rake by the pots we never moved you linger there for my sake slower than you have to move

  Pre-chorus

  Nothing here is asking to be kept yet you kneel down anyway something in me hasn't slept

  Chorus

  Carter, you make the leaving slow you turn the porch into a start smarter than the hearts I know Carter, you rearranged my heart

  Verse 2

  Rust comes off onto your palm you rub it like it matters hold the evening long and calm while the light around us scatters

  Bridge

  I could name the things you do stack them up like terracotta none of them explain it true none of them are why you matter

  Chorus

  Carter, you make the leaving slow you turn the porch into a start smarter than the hearts I know Carter, you rearranged my heart

  Outro

  The rake still leans against the wall and I'm in no rush at all

  Verse 1

  Yellow paper behind the glass Told me every hour you'd come I stood there reading it twice Just to make the waiting some

  Pre-chorus

  I've counted minutes before Never minded the wait But this one's different, Carter

  Chorus

  Carter, you're the thing worth waiting for No timetable could ever hold your name Steady as the hour I trust you'll come Carter, you arrive and I'm not the same

  Verse 2

  Dirty glass never hid you You came through clearer than most You're not a schedule I follow You're the one thing I chose

  Pre-chorus

  I've counted minutes before Never minded the wait But this one's different, Carter

  Chorus

  Carter, you're the thing worth waiting for No timetable could ever hold your name Steady as the hour I trust you'll come Carter, you arrive and I'm not the same

  Bridge

  Some folks watch the clock all day I just watch the door for you No paper printed could ever say What I already know is true

  Chorus

  Carter, you're the thing worth waiting for No timetable could ever hold your name Steady as the hour I trust you'll come Carter, you arrive and I'm not the same

  Outro

  Paper fades but you don't, Carter Still the one I'm waiting for
