Wool Socks on the Landing
Style: Fingerpicked night

[Verse 1]
Floorboards creak soft beneath these wool socks by your door
Just enough to say that someone still walks this floor
Nobody else needs to hear it but you
And you sleep on, not needing anything more

[Pre-chorus]
The hallway light goes gold and thin beneath your door
Every worry of the day is folding to the floor
So close your eyes, there is nowhere safer than right here

[Chorus]
Brad, the whole house softens once you're sleeping
Nothing in the dark tonight is worth the keeping
Only this, only you, only the quiet we made
Brad, you are the reason this house stopped creaking

[Verse 2]
The wind outside is trying every window it can find
But it can't get past the warmth you leave behind
You breathe so slow the whole night learns to slow with you
And I stand here glad that you are mine to mind

[Chorus]
Brad, the whole house softens once you're sleeping
Nothing in the dark tonight is worth the keeping
Only this, only you, only the quiet we made
Brad, you are the reason this house stopped creaking

[Bridge]
Sleep on and let the whole wide dark stay far away
I'll keep the watch so nothing troubles where you lay

[Chorus]
Brad, the whole house softens once you're sleeping
Nothing in the dark tonight is worth the keeping
Only this, only you, only the quiet we made
Brad, you are the reason this house stopped creaking

[Outro]
The floorboards settle now, the socks go still and slow
I'll leave the door half open just so you always know
