Linoleum Crack

Verse 1

Sole of my boot meets the linoleum crack

Yellow kitchen light buzzes like a secret I lack

Got a post-it note destiny stuck to the fridge

Says "remember to forget what they said when you were a kid"

I count the ceiling stains like a prayer I never learned

Brother left his coat here said he'd never return

Dishwater cold and I'm scraping the plate

Every single move I make is five minutes too late

Chorus

Same blue cup

Same bad luck

Same bent nail

Same long trail

Same blue cup

I keep filling it up

Verse 2

Drove past the school where they broke my last pen

Forty now but I'm still ten back then

Wrote a letter to a man who don't live here no more

Return to sender never made it to the door

Laundry on the line smells like rain that won't show

Radio plays static like it's all it knows

Neighbor's dog digging holes in the yard

Digging like he knows something I can't take hard

Chorus

Same blue cup

Same bad luck

Same bent nail

Same long trail

Same blue cup

I keep filling it up

Bridge

Maybe I'm the linoleum

Maybe I'm the crack

Maybe I'm the buzz that never finds its way back

Maybe this is fine

Maybe this is fine

Chorus

Same blue cup

Same bad luck

Same bent nail

Same long trail

Same blue cup

I keep filling it up
