Lyrics
We halve the Seckel pears from the tree on Danforth Street,
The yeast won't bloom for us in the harbor chill.
We knead the dough on counters we can't afford to keep,
Another winter trying to hold perfectly still.

[Verse 2]

It's an unrisen kind of hope we're baking,
A sweetness just shy of the one we knew.
A generation's worth of faking,
Pretending the old recipe is new.
[Bridge]

We read the card out loud but we just don't agree,
The kitchen fills with fog from our clouded glasses.
[Outro]
We serve it warm anyway.
We say it's close enough.
