Another Chair

[Verse 1]
I set the table for two
Then three more came through
A laugh, a name, a ring
A hand on the edge of everything

A plate for the old friend
A cup for the new one
I kept pulling up wood
Like my heart had room for everyone

[Pre-Chorus]
Now the corners are crowded
And the edges lean in
I look at the places
Where the silence used to sit

[Chorus]
Another chair, another chair
I pull one up, I pull one up
Another chair, another chair
I want to give enough

Another chair, another chair
Tell me where my hands should go
Another chair, another chair
When all these hearts say home

[Verse 2]
You tell me your hard days
I tell you mine too
And each new story
Adds a little more weight to the room

I love how it grows
I love what it means
But some nights I count the faces
And I lose sight of me

[Pre-Chorus]
Now the corners are crowded
And the edges lean in
I look at the places
Where the silence used to sit

[Chorus]
Another chair, another chair
I pull one up, I pull one up
Another chair, another chair
I want to give enough

Another chair, another chair
Tell me where my hands should go
Another chair, another chair
When all these hearts say home

[Bridge]
If I miss your eyes
If I answer late
If I grow too tired
Please don't call it fate

I’m learning the table
Can bend under care
Love keeps bringing company
And I keep making room there

[Final Chorus]
Another chair, another chair
I pull one up, I pull one up
Another chair, another chair
I want to give enough

Another chair, another chair
Take my hand and stay with me
Another chair, another chair
We can share the ache and the tea
