[Opening Refrain - warm, deceptively gentle] Funny how the hallway light Never flickers when you’re coming home Funny how the elevator Knows your floor before you’re close Funny how the smallest things Keep working better where you are Maybe this old building likes you Maybe I just take it too far [Verse 1 - light rhythmic delivery] The bulb outside your doorway Used to leave you in the dark Now it stays awake each evening Like it knows the hour you start The lift would stall between the floors Whenever rain came down Now it carries you so smoothly You barely feel it leave the ground Your packages stopped vanishing The lock began to catch Every little inconvenience Somehow learned to fix itself [Chorus - sweet, memorable melody] Conveniently yours Every little trouble finds another door Lights glow, locks hold, elevators rise The cameras by the entrance keep a careful eye Conveniently yours You don’t have to ask for anything anymore Call it luck, call it timing Call it nothing at all I just like the world behaving When you walk down the hall [Post-Chorus - soft layered vocals] You don’t need to know Who changed it You don’t need to ask Just come home safe [Verse 2 - affectionate, slightly too observant] The package room was crowded So I cleared another space The garage had a blind spot Now the lens points the right way The outer door kept sticking When the winter settled in Now it closes right behind you Before the cold can follow in You mentioned once the hallway Made you nervous late at night Maybe no one else remembered Maybe someone did it right [Refrain - sweetness beginning to fracture] Funny how the smallest risk Disappears before you see Funny how the building listens When it never listened previously Funny how I always seem To know exactly what went wrong Maybe I am good with patterns Maybe I have watched too long [Chorus] Conveniently yours Every little trouble finds another door Lights glow, locks hold, elevators rise The cameras by the entrance keep a careful eye Conveniently yours You don’t have to ask for anything anymore Call it luck, call it timing Call it nothing at all I just like the world behaving When you walk down the hall [Verse 3 - lower, more intimate] I never leave a message Never ask you for the praise I would rather be the reason Something difficult became safe You might think it is excessive You might wonder how I knew But noticing is effortless When everything leads back to you I know which door needs watching Which light affects your way Which elevator carries you At the ending of the day [Bridge - stripped production, low cello beneath vocal] You never asked me to repair it You never said I could But the dark was at your doorway And I knew that someone should You never gave me your schedule I only learned the shape The hour that the lobby opens The nights you come home late I know that care should ask permission I know what I conceal But a danger left unattended Does not wait for how you feel So I fixed another problem Before it reached your door You can call it an intrusion I call it being yours [Instrumental Turn - brief plucked cello and muted percussion] [Final Chorus - fuller, still deceptively tender] Conveniently yours Every little trouble finds another door Lights glow, locks hold, elevators rise Every shared and shadowed corner stays in sight Conveniently yours You never need to ask for anything anymore Call it luck, call it timing Call it care without a cause I just like the world behaving When you walk down the hall Conveniently yours Maybe I have made it difficult to tell Where protection becomes watching Where good intentions become something else Still, the lights will keep on glowing And the locks will hold until dawn You may never know who changed them They will work when I am gone [Final Refrain - quiet, almost innocent] Funny how the hallway light Never flickers when you’re coming home Maybe this old building likes you You never have to know
