Warm on the Shelf
Style: Cinematic strings

[Verse 1]
Dust settles slow on the wooden shelf
I keep this place just for myself
One pot stands drying in the light
You cross my mind from morning to night

[Chorus]
Elis, you're the warmth I choose
There's no version of me I'd rather use
No trace of malice, no need for a palace
Elis, you're my quiet solace

[Verse 2]
The glass holds heat the whole day through
Nothing in here grows without you
Clay goes hard but it holds its shape
You're the one thing I never escape

[Pre-chorus]
I don't need more than what I've got
Just this stillness, just this spot
Something in me is about to say

[Chorus]
Elis, you're the warmth I choose
There's no version of me I'd rather use
No trace of malice, no need for a palace
Elis, you're my quiet solace

[Bridge]
Some loves burn and some just stay
Steady as the end of day
You never asked to be the whole thing
But somehow that's the gift you bring

[Chorus]
Elis, you're the warmth I choose
There's no version of me I'd rather use
No trace of malice, no need for a palace
Elis, you're my quiet solace

[Outro]
The pot still dries on the wooden shelf
I'd choose you again, every time, myself
