Recipe for Home

[Intro]
[Verse]
Found it in the back
Under batteries and tacks
Little piece of yellowed paper
Fading like a summer vapor
Twenty-seven and I’m lost
Counting up what growing cost
[Pre-Chorus]
I see the screen door slam
Sweet smell of peach and jam
The porch is calling me
Back to where I used to be
[Chorus]
It’s a recipe for home
Written in a cursive roam
A little sugar, a little grace
I can almost see your face
In that chipped ceramic plate
Love was never out of date
Oh, it’s a recipe for home
[Post-Chorus]
Just a little sugar
Just a little grace
Yeah, it’s a recipe for home
[Verse]
Sun-bleached trees in a row
Watching all the peaches grow
You had flour on your cheek
Secrets that you didn’t speak
Just a pinch of this and that
While the old tabby cat sat
[Pre-Chorus]
I hear the screen door slam
Boiling down the peach and jam
The porch is calling me
Back to where I used to be
[Chorus]
It’s a recipe for home
Written in a cursive roam
A little sugar, a little grace
I can almost see your face
In that chipped ceramic plate
Love was never out of date
Oh, it’s a recipe for home
[Bridge]
The ink is smudged by time
Like a long-forgotten rhyme
But the kitchen starts to glow
With everything I used to know
I’m not alone in here
The memory is crystal clear
[Chorus]
It’s a recipe for home
Written in a cursive roam
A little sugar, a little grace
I can almost see your face
In that chipped ceramic plate
Love was never out of date
Oh, it’s a recipe for home
[Post-Chorus]
Just a little sugar
Just a little grace
Sweet peach summer
In this quiet space
Yeah, I’m finally home
[Outro]
