Lyrics
"That Maxwell House can from nineteen ninety-two,"
You say, your voice gentle, trying to see my view.
The scrape of bent iron on the coffee tin's thin wall,
"Honey, we can't save it all. We have to let some fall."

[Outro]
You close the lid, your warm hand over mine.
And you put it on the shelf. A different kind of shine.
