Kitchen Radio Knows

by Max Solano

“A kettle, a fogged window and a little radio that knows more about me than I do. I wrote it alone on a rainy afternoon.”

Lyrics

Kettle on, the window's fogged
Little radio by the bread
Static hums, then a song comes through
The one we used to sing
I stir my tea, I sway a bit
The floor is cold, the light is gold

Nobody here, but I'm not alone
The music fills the room

The kitchen radio knows
It knows just what I need
It plays the song I'm missing
And it sets my heart at ease
Turn it up, turn it up slow
Let the morning come on in
The kitchen radio knows
I'm all right again

Toast is burning, I don't mind
I'm humming every single line
Your old chair is by the door
But I don't feel so sore
The weatherman says clouds will clear
And I believe him, I believe him here

Nobody here, but I'm not alone
The music fills the room

The kitchen radio knows
It knows just what I need
It plays the song I'm missing
And it sets my heart at ease
Turn it up, turn it up slow
Let the morning come on in
The kitchen radio knows
I'm all right again

Dial a little left
Find the station, find the glow
Some old songs are like a hand
That says it's okay, let go

The kitchen radio knows
It knows just what I need
It plays the song I'm missing
And it sets my heart at ease
Turn it up, turn it up slow
Let the morning come on in
The kitchen radio knows
I'm all right again

Hum along, hum along
The kitchen radio knows
