Lyric

Morning steam on the window

Toast crumbs on the plate

You laugh at something small

And time forgets to race

You teach my heartbeat how to slow

Like leaves that linger in the glow

The world is loud, but in your eyes

I find a place that never tries

Traffic hums in the distance

Keys sleep in the bowl

You fold a stranger’s letter

And say a prayer for their soul

You teach my heartbeat how to slow

Like leaves that linger in the glow

The world is loud, but in your eyes

I find a place that never tries

Rain taps light on the rooftop

Drips trace paths through the air

You move a plant to the sunlight

Whisper, “grow,” like a little prayer

You teach my heartbeat how to slow

Like leaves that linger in the glow

The world is loud, but in your eyes

I find a place that never tries

Late call from an old friend

News hits hard, hits sharp

You hold the phone between us

And wrap your arms round my heart

You don’t promise perfect days

You just stand and stay

In the cracks, in the breaks

You plant small seeds of grace

You teach my heartbeat how to slow

Like leaves that linger in the glow

The world is loud, but in your eyes

I find a place that never tries
