Two Cups on the Radiator
Style: Chamber folk

[Verse 1]
Two cups sit on the radiator
warming slow while the bulb flickers on and off
nobody said this was romantic
but I keep watching you, not the light

[Pre-chorus]
You never asked for anything grand
just stayed while the tea went cold
and I'm still here, still leaning in

[Chorus]
Iris, you make the small hours kind
you're the calm I didn't know I'd find
steady as the warmth beneath the cups
Iris, I'm glad that you're mine

[Verse 2]
The light keeps stuttering above us
and you laugh like it's nothing at all
I'd stand in this flickering kitchen forever
just to watch that laugh again

[Chorus]
Iris, you make the small hours kind
you're the calm I didn't know I'd find
steady as the warmth beneath the cups
Iris, I'm glad that you're mine

[Bridge]
No candles, no grand design
just two cups going cold
and somehow that says everything
I've been too shy to hold

[Chorus]
Iris, you make the small hours kind
you're the calm I didn't know I'd find
steady as the warmth beneath the cups
Iris, I'm glad that you're mine

[Outro]
The bulb still flickers, faithful and worn
and you're the warmth I keep coming home to
