[Verse 1] I keep the kettle warm for you Set your blue cup by the sink When the day has taken everything I make a little room to breathe I learn the names you leave unsaid The small ache hiding in your grin And when you think you’re hard to hold I remind you where you’ve been [Pre-Chorus] You don’t have to earn a place here You don’t have to get it right Let me be the steady hands That keep the door unlocked tonight [Chorus] I love to make you feel loved To leave a kindness where you land To say your name like it matters And take the weight out of your hands When the world has worn you thin I’ll be the room you can come through I love to make you feel loved Because I’m glad that there is you [Verse 2] I save the last slice on the plate I walk you home past closing time I listen till the hard words soften And don’t rush you toward the bright No grand promise, no parade Just showing up again and then A note tucked in your coat pocket: “You can start right here again.” [Pre-Chorus] You don’t have to earn a place here You don’t have to get it right Let me be the steady hands That keep the door unlocked tonight [Chorus] I love to make you feel loved To leave a kindness where you land To say your name like it matters And take the weight out of your hands When the world has worn you thin I’ll be the room you can come through I love to make you feel loved Because I’m glad that there is you [Bridge] If you forget what you are worth Borrow my eyes for a little while I’ll keep the truth beside your name Till you can hear it through the miles No debt to pay, no need to hide No perfect version to become You are already someone’s reason To keep a place warm, to come home [Final Chorus] I love to make you feel loved To leave a kindness where you land To say your name like it matters And take the weight out of your hands When the world has worn you thin I’ll be the room you can come through I love to make you feel loved Because I’m glad that there is you [Outro] You don’t have to earn a place here There’s a light on, there’s a chair I love to make you feel loved And I’ll keep showing you I care
