Cooling by the Door
Style: Dream pop

[Verse 1]
A mug goes cold beside the door
waiting there for you to come home
I set it down and think of nothing more
just the shape of you, wherever you roam

[Pre-chorus]
I hear your key against the lock
the small sound that steadies me
and something in my chest starts to unlock

[Chorus]
Kristian, you're the calm I return to
the warmth I keep beside the door
not pristine, just true
I couldn't ask for anything more

[Verse 2]
The boot scraper holds the shape of your step
you leave your mark on ordinary ground
I've kept the porch light on, no regret
just glad to have you turning back around

[Bridge]
No grand words, no dramatic scene
just you arriving, steady and unhurried
this is what I mean

[Chorus]
Kristian, you're the calm I return to
the warmth I keep beside the door
not pristine, just true
I couldn't ask for anything more

[Outro]
The mug's gone cold, but I don't mind
you're finally home, and warm, and mine
