Look Around

Look Around

[Verse]
You always left the porch light on
Hummed every hymn a half-step wrong
Your handwriting's still on the recipe card
I'm wearing your sweater to write this song

[Chorus]
Carol, you're not gone, you're everywhere (everywhere)
In my laugh, in the way I fix my hair
I don't look up — I look around (look around)
You're the porch light and the kitchen sound

[Verse]
I still reach to call you on Sundays
Then I catch myself and call your sister instead
She sounds like you when she's tired
I kept every voicemail you left

[Chorus]
Carol, you're not gone, you're everywhere (everywhere)
In my laugh, in the way I fix my hair
I don't look up — I look around (look around)
You're the porch light and the kitchen sound

[Instrumental Break]

[Bridge]
(mmm, Mama)
I used to play your voicemails just to cry
Now I play them just to say hi —
you're not a wound. You're a place I go

[Final Chorus]
Carol, you're not gone, you're everywhere (everywhere)
In my laugh, in the way I fix my hair
I stopped saying goodbye — I just say "still here" (still here)
You're the porch light and the kitchen sound

[Outro]
(mmm, Mama)
Still here
