Wet Boots
Style: Soul waltz

[Verse 1]
I left my boots by the door
Dripping soft on the mat
You called out from the other room
Never once asked why I was that late

[Pre-chorus]
You didn't need the whole story
Just handed me a towel and stayed
Something in that quiet always pulls me

[Chorus]
Sylvie, you're the warm in from the chilly
You keep the porch light on for me
No door feels shut when you're behind it, Sylvie
You're the calm I didn't know I'd need

[Verse 2]
Some nights I come home heavy
Carrying more than my two hands can hold
You take my coat before I ask you
And somehow I feel less cold

[Chorus]
Sylvie, you're the warm in from the chilly
You keep the porch light on for me
No door feels shut when you're behind it, Sylvie
You're the calm I didn't know I'd need

[Bridge]
Doesn't matter what the weather's been
Doesn't matter how far I had to go
You're the one thing waiting steady
The one light I always know

[Chorus]
Sylvie, you're the warm in from the chilly
You keep the porch light on for me
No door feels shut when you're behind it, Sylvie
You're the calm I didn't know I'd need

[Outro]
My boots are still there by the mat
Still dripping, still glad I'm home
