Lyric

Clink…

Clack…

Sizzle…

Somebody laughing already

Empty stomach, loud as thunder

Wallet saying, “See you later.”

Pocket full of lint and stories

Still we walk like movie stars

Fresh white cotton hit my shoulder—

“Take it.”

Didn’t ask

Didn’t owe me

Fits like Friday on a Tuesday

Wait…

Hold on…

Your grandma knew my grandpa?

No way…

Say that again

Same roots

Different branches

One old tree

Still dancing

Same roots

Different branches

Now pass the noodles

Hot bowl

Cold drink

Bad jokes

Don’t blink

One chair

Two more

Slide ’em in

There’s room

Every cousin talks too loud

Every laugh becomes a chorus

Nobody knows who started singing

Nobody wants it to stop

Grease stain on my brand-new shirt

Perfect

Now it finally belongs to me

Ha!

Ha!

…

Again

One more plate

One more chair

One more story

Nobody cares

Who’s rich

Who’s cool

Who’s late

Who’s first

Eat

Laugh

Repeat

Night gets taller

Street gets quiet

Door swings closed

Lights stay warm

Best thing I got today…

Wasn’t dinner

Wasn’t the shirt

It was finding out

We’ve been family

Long before we knew
