Habit clears its throat; I stand. Your name—no gavel, just the room. I promise daylight, sign in silence, ink tacky on the page; my hands smell of tea. Released, I step into the living room— mug rings drying; the neighbour’s footfall at nine. Should I run, it’s toward you; hiding, I borrow your light. I’m guilty of returning. Turn off the news; click on the lamp. Let the lamp’s warm cone count the days— one lamp-click along the rug’s worn fringe.
Instructional lyrics
[Intro 8b analog pad lofi drums hall] [Tag 2b reverb tail] lamp on [Verse 1 ~100bpm] Habit clears its throat, I stand They say your name, just the room I promise daylight, sign in silence Ink sticks to the page, tea on my hands [Pre rise filter sweep] Door clicks soft, lungs find time Keys in a dish, count my mind [Break 2b stop] [Chorus bigger double vox clap stack] Leave the lamp on, home I'm coming home [Verse 2] Out the gate into our lounge Mug rings fade, nine o’clock steps If I run, I run to you If I hide, I borrow your light [Pre rise] Curtains breathe, the night holds still I hear your laugh in the spill [Break 2b stop] [Chorus bigger double vox] Leave the lamp on, home I'm coming home [Bridge strip to vox+pad] I’m guilty of returning Turn off the news, stay [Chorus stacked chorus] Leave the lamp on, home I'm coming home [Chorus x2] [Tag 2b reverb tail] one click, I’m home [Outro 4b lofi drums diminuendo 4b]
