Boots by the Step
Style: Country waltz

[Verse 1]
Your boots are tangled by the step
left right where you kicked them free
I never move them when I sweep
some things just look right to me

[Pre-chorus]
I used to sleep with one eye open
now I sleep like something's mine
I never planned on needing this much

[Chorus]
Elias, you're the reason I come home
not the porch light, not the door
however far this life has thrown me
I keep landing where you are

[Verse 2]
You hum off key and don't know it
you leave your coffee going cold
I've watched you do it fifty mornings
and I still want fifty more

[Bridge]
Nobody's asking us to be certain
we just are, and that's enough
I'm not scared of the quiet anymore
not since you started filling it up

[Chorus]
Elias, you're the reason I come home
not the porch light, not the door
however far this life has thrown me
I keep landing where you are

[Outro]
Leave your boots right where they're tangled
that's how I know you're home
