Kitchen Floor

Verse 1

We burned the first batch of pancakes Smoke alarm at half past ten You opened every window And said, “Breakfast wins again”

I was sitting on the counter You were barefoot by the stove There were dishes in the sink And nowhere else I wanted to go

Chorus

I don’t need Paris in the springtime Don’t need fireworks anymore Give me you at two in the morning Laughing on the kitchen floor Your head against the cabinets My sweatshirt that you stole If somebody asks what love looks like I think that’s all I know

Verse 2

You know I hate the toothpaste cap I know you lose your keys You steal the blankets every night Then blame the cat on me

We don’t finish every argument Sometimes somebody shuts a door Then ten minutes later one of us Is sitting beside the other on the floor

Chorus

I don’t need Paris in the springtime Don’t need fireworks anymore Give me you at two in the morning Laughing on the kitchen floor Your head against the cabinets My sweatshirt that you stole If somebody asks what love looks like I think that’s all I know

Bridge

Maybe someday we’ll have nicer things A bigger house, a better view But if the whole thing disappeared tonight I’d still know what I’d choose

No photographs No diamond rings Just your hand reaching down for me

Final Chorus

I don’t need Paris in the springtime Never really did before I want fifty years of ordinary With you on the kitchen floor Gray hair against the cabinets Still fighting over who snores If somebody asks where I found forever I’ll point right here

To this kitchen floor.
