You Can Set It Down

Verse 1 The porch light’s on, the day’s unwound The dust has settled, the house is quiet now There’s supper warm and the floor swept clean You don’t have to notice what it took to get here I changed my dress, washed my hands Put the tired hours where they belong What’s left is peace and a place to breathe A softer end to a long, long day Chorus You can set it down, whatever you’re carrying All that weight you wore all day I won’t ask questions, I won’t make a sound I’ll just make it easy to stay You don’t have to fix, you don’t have to prove Anything when you walk through If the world was loud and pulled you around You can set it down Verse 2 I learned that beauty ain’t about shine It’s knowing when to step aside Let the noise fall out of the room Let the quiet do what it’s meant to do There’s a rhythm to the way I wait A comfort in things being right Not fancy, just ready and warm Like this house tonight Chorus You can set it down, whatever you’re carrying All that weight you wore all day I won’t ask questions, I won’t make a sound I’ll just make it easy to stay You don’t have to fix, you don’t have to prove Anything when you walk through If the world was loud and pulled you around You can set it down Bridge I don’t need to tell you what I did Or how long the day has been What matters is the way you feel Standing right here again Final Chorus (gentler, resolved) So set it down, let the evening take you Let the hard parts fade away This house knows how to hold you now I made it that way No spotlight, no demand Just a steady, waiting hand If the road took more than it gave you back You can set it down Outro Yeah, you can set it down You’re home now
