Rhyme & Reason

Verse 1

Half past your usual hour

You turn the kettle down

Say the traffic took a detour

Through the middle of town

Same two coffees on the counter

Neither one is mine

Funny how the pattern keeps a

Hold on us in time

Pre-Chorus

And every thread I pull

Comes back the same way round

Every loop I start

You meet me on the ground

Chorus

You're the rhyme and the reason

The quarter in the meter running out

You're the rhyme and the reason

The road that turns me round

Verse 2

You leave your jacket on the banister

Right where I hang mine

Never once you ask me over

Never once you mind

Sunday paper halfway open

Page I never knew

Funny how the silence keeps a

Beat for me and you

Pre-Chorus

And every thread I pull

Comes back the same way round

Every loop I start

You meet me on the ground

Chorus

You're the rhyme and the reason

The quarter in the meter running out

You're the rhyme and the reason

The road that turns me round

Bridge

Same street same sign

Same door left ajar

Same small ajar

Old familiar scar

Chorus

You're the rhyme and the reason

The quarter in the meter running out

You're the rhyme and the reason

The road that turns me round

Outro

Turns me round

Turns me round

All the way back round
