Two Socks on the Line
Style: Blues slow dance

[Verse 1]
Two wool socks touching in the sun
Resting easy on the striped cotton line
You hung them there when the wash was done
Small thing, but it felt like a sign

[Chorus]
Heidi, you're the warm I lean on
Steady as the porch light after dark
Heidi, when the long day's gone
You're the ember, you're the spark

[Verse 2]
I watch you fold the same worn shirt
Careful like it matters, like it's true
Nothing fancy, nothing that would hurt
I just like the quiet next to you

[Pre-chorus]
No one taught me how this ought to feel
Just that you make ordinary real
Now the room hums soft when you walk through

[Chorus]
Heidi, you're the warm I lean on
Steady as the porch light after dark
Heidi, when the long day's gone
You're the ember, you're the spark

[Bridge]
Some loves shout, but mine just stays
Folded soft through ordinary days
You don't need the grand or new
I just want the socks, the line, and you

[Chorus]
Heidi, you're the warm I lean on
Steady as the porch light after dark
Heidi, when the long day's gone
You're the ember, you're the spark

[Outro]
Two socks still touching on the line
You're the steady I call mine
