[Instrumental] [Intro] [solo acoustic guitar, fingerpicked with slide] [syncopated bass notes, sliding melodic riffs] [Main Theme] [repetitive blues riff, alternating bass and treble slide accents] [vibrato on sustained slide notes] [lyrics] [Verse 1] Sun spills soft on the kitchen floor Through a screen door that don’t quite close anymore You laugh like you forgot how hard it gets Like the day’s not keeping score of debts There’s a breeze that knows our names by heart Moves the curtains like a quiet start Nothing loud, just enough to say We made it through to another day [Chorus] It ain’t big, it ain’t bright neon Just a steady kind of carry-on Like a fire that don’t need to show Just a warmth that you come to know [Verse 2] We walk slow past the corner store Talk about things we don’t fight for anymore All the weight we were holding tight Turns to dust in a softer light There’s a peace in the in-between Not a dream, just a different scene Where the past don’t pull so hard And the future don’t feel so far [Chorus] It ain’t loud, it don’t beg to stay Comes and goes in a quiet way Like a song you don’t try to write But it finds you when it feels right Bridge If it leaves, let it go, don’t chase It’ll circle back in its own grace We were never meant to hold it tight Just to feel it when it feels right [Outro] Sun goes down but it’s not the end Just a promise that it’ll bend again And the dark ain’t something to fight It just makes room for a softer light**
