These Are the Best Days

Staring at the kitchen floor One stray piece of kibble by the door I see you watching from across the room Waiting for the quiet afternoon to bloom We're just passing time, keeping perfectly still Watching the sunlight crawl across the windowsill

These are the best days, even when we do nothing at all Just resting our heads where the shadows fall No need to run, no need to chase the sky With a heavy heart and a sideways eye These are the best days, you and I

The world outside is moving way too fast But in this corner, we can make the quiet last You give me that look, like you know my secret thoughts All the little worries that I somehow caught But you don't judge the mess, you don't mind the wait Just curled up patient by the garden gate

These are the best days, even when we do nothing at all Just resting our heads where the shadows fall No need to run, no need to chase the sky With a heavy heart and a sideways eye These are the best days, you and I

Just a stray piece on the floor And we don't need anything more Just a sideways eye These are the best days, you and I
