Settled Low
Style: Rain and piano

[Verse 1]
Somewhere a small dial turns slowly on a stack of dusty books
Finding a station of rain and a hush that softens the room
And all of that quiet was only ever waiting to find you
Karen, the whole house settles low the moment you close your eyes

[Pre-chorus]
Rain keeps its own gentle count against the darkened glass
Every small sound in the house is folding down to a hum
So let the last of the light go, and let it carry you

[Chorus]
Karen, sleep is a warm room built just to keep you safe
Nothing tonight is asking anything at all of you
Karen, you are the one thing this whole house is caring for
Rest now, there's nothing waiting but morning coming soft and true

[Verse 2]
The dial hums low under books that nobody needs to read tonight
Piano notes drop slow like rain finding the sill
You are held so much closer than any of that old paper
Karen, you are the warmest thing this quiet room has ever known

[Bridge]
Let your breathing slow to match the rain against the pane
Nothing in the dark tonight was ever meant to reach you

[Chorus]
Karen, sleep is a warm room built just to keep you safe
Nothing tonight is asking anything at all of you
Karen, you are the one thing this whole house is caring for
Rest now, there's nothing waiting but morning coming soft and true

[Outro]
Somewhere that small dial has turned itself down to a whisper
Sleep now, you are the softest thing this house has ever held
