Keep the Kettle Warm (버전 2)

Verse

Steam curls up from a chipped blue cup

Desk lamp humming, pages stacking up

Twelfth floor window, streetlights bloom

Rooftops scatter through the quiet room

Neon washes on the ceiling tile

Half a page left, one more mile

Clock hands drift but I don't mind

Floating slow in the amber light

Pre-Chorus

So let the hours turn to honey

Let the traffic hum turn sweet

Somewhere down below the city's running

Up here I've got nowhere I need to be

Chorus

Floating over city lights

Drifting soft through paper skies

Kettle humming, low and slow

Keep the kettle warm, I'm not ready to go

Verse

Notebook margins full of doodled stars

Headlights streaming into little cars

Someone's laughing three blocks down

Sound floats up and softens out

Static crackles from the radio dial

Mixed with rain that's stopped a while

Cloud of steam against the glass

Watch the whole wide evening pass

Pre-Chorus

So let the hours turn to honey

Let the traffic hum turn sweet

Somewhere down below the city's running

Up here I've got nowhere I need to be

Chorus

Floating over city lights

Drifting soft through paper skies

Kettle humming, low and slow

Keep the kettle warm, I'm not ready to go

Bridge

Maybe morning finds me still right here

Cup gone cold but the view stays clear

No alarm, no reason to run

Just this window and the coming sun

Chorus

Floating over city lights

Drifting soft through paper skies

Kettle humming, low and slow

Keep the kettle warm, I'm not ready to go

Outro

Steam curls up, the city glows

Keep the kettle warm

Here we go, slow
