The New Era Project

Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Found your note on the counter
Next to a cold cup of tea
Three small words in the corner
Said more than you meant them to mean

[Chorus]
Yesterday in my kitchen
You were laughing
You were mine
Now the chair by the window
Holds a shadow
Holds the light
I keep pouring out the kettle
Like I’m turning back the time
Yesterday in my kitchen
You were here
You were mine

[Verse 2]
Toast crumbs still on the table
Your old scarf on the chair
Funny how all of these small things
Feel louder than the silence we share

[Chorus]
Yesterday in my kitchen
You were laughing
You were mine
Now the photo on the fridge door
Is the only hand in mine
I keep talking to the sugar bowl
Like you’re gonna answer twice
Yesterday in my kitchen
You were here
You were mine

[Bridge]
Maybe you’re walking (walking some bright street)
Bag in your hand
Shoes on your feet (oh)
I’m still stuck in the sunlight

Maybe you’re walking some bright street
Bag in your hand
Shoes on your feet (oh)
I’m still stuck in the sunlight
Where you left your key

[Chorus]
Yesterday in my kitchen
Steam is rising
Day is new
I stir circles in the teacup
Till I almost picture you
If you ever cross that doorway
Leave your worries at the side
Yesterday in my kitchen
We'll be waiting
Open wide

[Outro]
I’ll be here in the kitchen
With the daylight on my face
Set a cup on the counter
Just in case
Just in case
Just in case
Just in case
