Steam Rises Over Nowhere (वर्ज़न 2)

Verse

Kettle clicks at half past nine

Window fog in a crooked line

Yesterday's cup still on the sill

Same old chair, same windowsill

Radiator hums a slow refrain

Trace your name on the foggy pane

Photograph curled at the edge of the desk

Half a smile I never let rest

Pre-Chorus

Do you still take it black

Do you still turn back

When the hallway light goes low

Chorus

Steam rises over nowhere

Soft and slow, nowhere

Just the warmth we used to know

Steam rises over nowhere

Verse

Vinyl skips on the second line

Dust collects where the sun don't shine

Your old sweater on the hook by the door

Wearing thin like it did before

Streetlight leaks through the paper shade

Coffee ring where the letter stayed

Never sent it, never signed

Left it folded, left it behind

Pre-Chorus

Do you still take it black

Do you still turn back

When the hallway light goes low

Chorus

Steam rises over nowhere

Soft and slow, nowhere

Just the warmth we used to know

Steam rises over nowhere

Bridge

Maybe nowhere's just a room

Where the clock forgets to move

Maybe warmth don't need a name

Just a cup and quiet rain

Chorus

Steam rises over nowhere

Soft and slow, nowhere

Just the warmth we used to know

Steam rises over nowhere

Outro

Kettle's cold now, but I stay

Watching nowhere drift away
