Marmelade

[Verse 1] Toast crumbs on the counter Sun stuck to your sweater Coffee going cold between us Laughing at the weather Sticky jar on the table Your spoon My hand One label You say my name like a habit Sweet and a little fatal [Chorus] Marmelade On your mouth On my mind All our mornings Running late Running blind If this is all That we ever will be Sugar and citrus Staining the sheets Marmelade You’re all over me [Verse 2] You dance in the doorway Hair up Old band shirt Burnt bread Smoke alarm singing We kiss through the dirt Traffic out of the window Time chewing our plans You draw a heart on my shoulder Orange on your hands [Chorus] [Bridge] [low vocal register] Save the last scrape in the jar For the days we fall apart When the sky tastes bitter Too I’ll remember breakfast with you [crescendo]
