The Handle Turns Slow
Style: Cinematic strings

[Verse 1]
Milk bottles wait out on the step
The brass handle turns slow and low
You're somewhere warm behind that door
And that's the only place I go

[Chorus]
Albie, you're the calm I come home to
Nothing about you ever feels unplanned
Steady as the turning of a handle
Albie, I would know you by your hand

[Verse 2]
I don't need the porch light on
I know the sound your kettle makes
You hum something low and off key
And it's the tune my whole day takes

[Pre-chorus]
I've loved you in the plain hours
The ones nobody writes a song about
This is where the feeling starts to shout

[Chorus]
Albie, you're the calm I come home to
Nothing about you ever feels unplanned
Steady as the turning of a handle
Albie, I would know you by your hand

[Bridge]
You never make me knock twice
No performance, no goodbyes rehearsed
Whatever door I'm standing at
You already had it open first

[Chorus]
Albie, you're the calm I come home to
Nothing about you ever feels unplanned
Steady as the turning of a handle
Albie, I would know you by your hand

[Outro]
The bottles will still be waiting
But I'm already through the door
