Off the Hook
Style: Folk duet

[Verse 1]
The phone sits crooked by the mug
still warm from where your fingers curled
I let it ring a while
I'm not done looking at your face

[Chorus]
Gael, you're the calm in every hour
stay a minute, don't rush off
nothing waits like this waits
Gael, I'd let the whole world stall

[Verse 2]
Steam goes thin above the cup
your voice still hanging in the air
some things don't need answering right away
just held a little longer than they should

[Pre-chorus]
Everyone else can leave a message
this kitchen doesn't move for anyone
but you, you make me want to stay

[Chorus]
Gael, you're the calm in every hour
stay a minute, don't rush off
nothing waits like this waits
Gael, I'd let the whole world stall

[Bridge]
Whatever's ringing out there can wait its turn
I'd choose this quiet over any news
you, half smiling, coffee going cold
that's the only call I'm answering

[Chorus]
Gael, you're the calm in every hour
stay a minute, don't rush off
nothing waits like this waits
Gael, I'd let the whole world stall

[Outro]
The phone still rests there, crooked, patient
same as I am, waiting on you
