Cooling on the Step
Style: Country waltz

[Verse 1]
I set two mugs out on the step
the coffee going slow and grey
you sat down close and took my hand
and something in me eased that day

[Pre-chorus]
No one's watching, nothing planned
just this porch and this small light
and I keep learning how to stand
closer to you every night

[Chorus]
Angela, you steady me
like rain that finds the thirsty ground
you never asked to be my calm
but Angela, that's what you found

[Verse 2]
The watering can sits by the wall
forgotten since the summer rain
you laughed at how we let it rust
and I loved you plain, not for a gain

[Pre-chorus]
No one's watching, nothing planned
just this porch and this small light
and I keep learning how to stand
closer to you every night

[Chorus]
Angela, you steady me
like rain that finds the thirsty ground
you never asked to be my calm
but Angela, that's what you found

[Bridge]
Some hearts need the noise to know they're loved
mine just needs you here
holding still while the coffee cools
that's how I know love's near

[Chorus]
Angela, you steady me
like rain that finds the thirsty ground
you never asked to be my calm
but Angela, that's what you found

[Outro]
Two mugs cooling on the step
and I'd still choose this every day
