Pass the Butter, Not the Blame

Verse

Candle wax on the tablecloth

Twelve plates down to just the two of us

The pot roast gone, the wine half poured

We're still here laughing like before

You reach across the mashed potatoes

Say the same old joke you always throw

I roll my eyes but catch your grin

Something's shifting deep within

Pre-Chorus

So what if the roof's still leaking

What if the bills keep speaking

Louder than we want tonight

What if we just turned up the light

Chorus

Pass the butter, not the blame

We've survived worse than this again

Push the chairs back, clear the floor

I don't need to keep score anymore

Kitchen radio, turn it up

Freedom tastes like an empty cup

We're dancing tonight, dancing tonight

Everything's gonna be alright

Verse

Grandma's china stacked and drying

Kids asleep, the house not trying

To be anything but ours right now

Flour on your collar, I don't care how

You spin me past the pantry door

Sock feet sliding on the floor

Twenty years of Tuesday nights

Led us here to the porch light

Pre-Chorus

So what if the roof's still leaking

What if the bills keep speaking

Louder than we want tonight

What if we just turned up the light

Chorus

Pass the butter, not the blame

We've survived worse than this again

Push the chairs back, clear the floor

I don't need to keep score anymore

Kitchen radio, turn it up

Freedom tastes like an empty cup

We're dancing tonight, dancing tonight

Everything's gonna be alright

Bridge

Maybe we don't fix a thing tonight

Maybe broken still feels right

When your hand finds mine like this

When forgiveness is this kind of bliss

No apology, just this beat

No goodbye, just tired feet

Chorus

Pass the butter, not the blame

We've survived worse than this again

Push the chairs back, clear the floor

I don't need to keep score anymore

Kitchen radio, turn it up

Freedom tastes like an empty cup

We're dancing tonight, dancing tonight

Everything's gonna be alright
