Cord on the Floor
Style: Motown ballad

[Verse 1]
The cord hangs down past the cabinet
curled up like it's tired too
your voice is low, half a whisper sent
and somehow it still gets through

[Pre-chorus]
Three in the morning, wide awake
talking about nothing much at all
but every word feels like it's ours to keep

[Chorus]
Dylan, you're the reason I stay up
holding on when the room's gone still
two voices low till the dark gives up
Dylan, you're the one I want to feel

[Verse 2]
You laugh and the whole house softens
I forget what time it says
the cord goes slack against the drawer
but you're not hanging up, not yet

[Bridge]
Maybe love isn't the big loud kind
maybe it's just this, staying near
a quiet line between two minds
proof that someone wants to hear

[Chorus]
Dylan, you're the reason I stay up
holding on when the room's gone still
two voices low till the dark gives up
Dylan, you're the one I want to feel

[Outro]
The cord still hangs by the cabinet
but I'm not letting go of you
