Waiting on the Kettle to Sing（バージョン2）

Verse

Steam curls up in the window light

Sock feet cold on the kitchen tile

Grey clock ticking but I don't mind

Just me and the stove and the slow sunrise

Yesterday's mail still stacked by the door

Coat on the chair from the night before

Nowhere to be, no reason to rush

Just the hush before the hush

Pre-Chorus

And the water's warming slow

Something in me starts to go

Loosening what I used to hold

Piece by piece, I let it go

Chorus

Waiting on the kettle to sing

Watching the smoke make its lazy rings

Nothing to fix, nothing to keep

Just this quiet, just this steam

Waiting on the kettle to sing

Verse

Old dust settles on the windowsill

Radio hums but the words stand still

Half a cup of yesterday's tea

Going cold, and that's alright with me

Photographs curl at the edge of the frame

Names I loved but forget the names

Let the porch light burn down low

Everything I know starts to go

Pre-Chorus

And the water's warming slow

Something in me starts to go

Loosening what I used to hold

Piece by piece, I let it go

Chorus

Waiting on the kettle to sing

Watching the smoke make its lazy rings

Nothing to fix, nothing to keep

Just this quiet, just this steam

Waiting on the kettle to sing

Bridge

Maybe I don't need to know

Where the morning means to go

Maybe drifting's just the art

Of finally opening my hands, my heart

Chorus

Waiting on the kettle to sing

Watching the smoke make its lazy rings

Nothing to fix, nothing to keep

Just this quiet, just this steam

Waiting on the kettle to sing
