Steam on the Sill
Style: Indie folk

[Verse 1]
The cup goes cold before you notice
Streets outside are empty, dark and still
I keep watching steam rise slowly
You're the only warmth I chase until

[Chorus]
Maurice, you're the calm inside the noise
Every quiet hour feels like a choice
Nobody else could hold this peace
I'd know your voice among a thousand, Maurice

[Verse 2]
You talk low so the night won't wake
Hands wrapped tight around the heat
Nothing here needs saying twice
You make the silence feel complete

[Pre-chorus]
I keep this window cracked for you
Some kind of signal, some kind of truce
Waiting on the sound of your key turning

[Chorus]
Maurice, you're the calm inside the noise
Every quiet hour feels like a choice
Nobody else could hold this peace
I'd know your voice among a thousand, Maurice

[Bridge]
Let the whole street sleep, we won't
Some things don't need to be seen
Just you, this cup, this narrow ledge
Steady as anything I've known

[Chorus]
Maurice, you're the calm inside the noise
Every quiet hour feels like a choice
Nobody else could hold this peace
I'd know your voice among a thousand, Maurice

[Outro]
The cup sits empty on the sill now
Still warm, still yours, still here
