Lyrics
(A cappella)
The bolt of yellow gingham from that shop on 39th
I'll cut the kitchen curtains on the bias, give 'em length
One chair beside the window, for the humid August rain
A single cup for coffee, to forget my own last name
The floorboards have a gentle sag
A perfect space to unpack my bag
[Chorus]
It's a perfect pattern for one
A whole new life when the mending's done
Just a clean, straight seam for me
Finally
[Verse 2]

For a bed that no one else has ever slept in before
It's a careful plan I've designed
To keep the unraveling behind
[Chorus]
It's a perfect pattern for one
A whole new life when the mending's done
Just a clean, straight seam for me
Finally
[Bridge]
This blueprint's drawn in chalk-dust on a fabric worn so thin
But what if I mis-measure where the emptiness begins?
[Outro]
When the mending's done
When the mending's done…
