Songs for Kristian

Verse 1

Cups are stacked up by the door Turnstile spinning on the floor Everybody's pushing through tonight We came here to see you, nothing more

Chorus

Kristian, the room lit up when you came in Nobody else could own this scene You're the name that starts the mixture Kristian, we're glad you're here again

Verse 2

Lights are low and music's high Watch the glitter catch your eye Every cup gets raised up high We're counting down till your turn to fly

Pre-chorus

Feel that click, the gears align Hear the crowd all call your name in time One more turn before the chorus hits again

Chorus

Kristian, the room lit up when you came in Nobody else could own this scene You're the name that starts the mixture Kristian, we're glad you're here again

Bridge

Spin us round, don't let it stop Every cup up top You're the reason the lights don't dim Turn again and we'll turn with him

Chorus

Kristian, the room lit up when you came in Nobody else could own this scene You're the name that starts the mixture Kristian, we're glad you're here again

Outro

Cups still stacked beside the door We'd turn this night for you once more

Verse 1

Blue towels rolled tight on a bench Steam on the tiles like a secret You always find the calm in the wrench Bring you the noise and you fix it

Dripping tiles and the mirror fogs You still make the whole place grin Steady hands through the harder slogs You're the warmth that we let in

Another year, still ours to keep You're the reason we don't sleep Candles catching in your eyes Blow them out on our goodbyes

Verse 1

Baskets warm from the machine Piled up high tonight Nothing fancy, nothing clean But you still make it right

We could've had a fancy do Balloons and paper crowns But all we ever needed

Kristian, light up this room Two of these lines will do Everybody raise a glass Kristian, here's to you

Verse 1

The cart rolls slow between us here You pass a cup, no need to speak Water's plain but this feels rich I know my place beside you now

Pre-chorus

I've counted all the ways you show it Small and steady, never loud Something's rising, I can feel it now

Chorus

Kristian, you're the calm I chose Every quiet thing that grows Two cups resting, nothing said This is how I'll keep being led

Verse 2

We don't need the grand or golden Just this cart and light that's fading You look over, half a smile That's enough to last a while

Bridge

No music swells when you are near Just this hush I've come to need Ordinary, and that's the proof You're the one I'll always choose

Chorus

Kristian, you're the calm I chose Every quiet thing that grows Two cups resting, nothing said This is how I'll keep being led

Outro

The cart still rolls, the cups still wait You're still the one I want to stay

Verse 1

Dust hangs still between the shelves Old books keeping all their secrets Nobody else would stand this long I could watch you read forever

Chorus

Kristian, you're the quiet in the noise Steady as a hand I trust Nothing fancy, nothing pristine Kristian, I would choose you twice

Verse 2

You trace the spines like they matter Slow hands, patient in the hush I never needed all the answers Just this light and just this room

Pre-chorus

Something in the way you linger Tells me you're not going anywhere So say my name and let it land

Chorus

Kristian, you're the quiet in the noise Steady as a hand I trust Nothing fancy, nothing pristine Kristian, I would choose you twice

Bridge

No one else reads rooms like you do Finds the calm in all this weight You make the ordinary holy I would wait here if you asked me

Kristian, you're the quiet in the noise Steady as a hand I trust Nothing fancy, nothing pristine Kristian, I would choose you twice

Outro

Dust still falls between the shelves And still I'd rather stand with you

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

Yellow light is falling soft across the winding stair spilling gold on carpet worn from years of climbing there little feet have made this path a thousand times before and every step tonight is leading to your door

Verse 1

Outside the glass a feather settles soft and still Resting on a branch the frost has held so gently Nothing moves out there, nothing needs to stir You are warm inside, away from every chill

Chorus

Kristian, the dark is only resting now Close your eyes, my little touch of wisdom Kristian, I am holding you so near Sleep is just the softest place to land

Somewhere past the window branches hold their breath Waiting quiet for the morning light to find them You don't need to wait for anything tonight Only sink and let the quiet carry you to rest

No harm can reach you where you're lying now Just breathing slow beneath this gentle roof You are so loved, however small the hour

Chorus

Kristian, the dark is only resting now Close your eyes, my little touch of wisdom Kristian, I am holding you so near Sleep is just the softest place to land

Outro

Somewhere the branch still holds its feather in the frost Sleep now, my love, you're safe till morning comes
