[Verse] Sunlight’s fading through the windowpane You hum a song, I’m stirring up the flame Flour on the counter, memories around That old recipe, where love is found [Pre-Chorus] But the timer slips away too fast And the smell tells me this pie won’t last [Chorus] Oh, the crust is burned but the laughter’s sweet In this little kitchen where our hearts meet It’s not perfection that we’re living for It’s the warmth we share and the love in store Yeah, the crust is burned but the laughter’s sweet And every little mess makes life complete [Verse] You wink and say, “Well, that’s how it goes” A little burnt crust, but the story grows We slice it up, though it’s not quite right Every bite tastes like a Saturday night [Pre-Chorus] Turn the lights down low, hold me near In this smoky room, there’s nothing to fear [Chorus] Oh, the crust is burned but the laughter’s sweet In this little kitchen where our hearts meet It’s not perfection that we’re living for It’s the warmth we share and the love in store Yeah, the crust is burned but the laughter’s sweet And every little mess makes life complete [Bridge] In the glow of a fading day We find the joy in the imperfect way No need for silver spoons or fancy pies Just you and me and our homemade skies [Chorus] Oh, the crust is burned but the laughter’s sweet In this little kitchen where our hearts meet It’s not perfection that we’re living for It’s the warmth we share and the love in store Yeah, the crust is burned but the laughter’s sweet And every little mess makes life complete [Outro] The crust is burned but the laughter’s sweet Yeah, it’s you and me in this little heartbeat
