Heat Keeps the Light On (wersja 2)

Verse

Windows steam up, curtains draw apart

Foggy mirror, water on the cart

Coffee cup half gone from before

Last night's record scratching at the door

Clock ticks slow beside the window frame

Same four bars I've heard a hundred times in rain

I don't need your face to feel this heat

Just the hum of radiators on repeat

Steam drifts up like it's carrying you

Right back here where we used to be through

Pre-Chorus

So tell me, do you still feel it too?

Tell me this isn't just about me and you

Every small thing that says don't let go

Say it one more time before the light goes cold

Chorus

Steam rises over nowhere slow

Still keeping warm what we used to know

Heat keeps the light on, long after nine

Steam rises over nowhere mine

Steam rises over nowhere slow

Warmth is just a promise that don't die

Verse 2

Photograph curling where the coffee ring stays

Same old sweater hanging by the door in gray

You left the radio on, I let it stay

Halfway down the hall my shadow drifts away

I don't need to know what happened last

Just that this heat remains when you're not here at all

Maybe love's a thermostat I forgot to reset

Maybe that's okay, maybe that's just enough yet

Pre-Chorus

So tell me, do you still feel it too?

Tell me this isn't just about me and you

Every small thing that says don't let go

Say it one more time before the light goes cold

Chorus

Steam rises over nowhere slow

Still keeping warm what we used to know

Heat keeps the light on, long after nine

Steam rises over nowhere mine

Steam rises over nowhere slow

Warmth is just a promise that don't die

Bridge

Maybe someday steam won't rise at all

Maybe someday I'll let this hallway fall

But right now it's just me and the radiator's sigh

Telling me to stay, telling me not to lie

I'm not holding on to what's already gone

Just holding still for something that moves slow like this song

Chorus

Steam rises over nowhere slow

Still keeping warm what we used to know

Heat keeps the light on, long after nine

Steam rises over nowhere mine

Steam rises over nowhere slow

Warmth is just a promise that don't die

Outro

Windows steam up, curtains stay apart

I'm still here where the warmth stays in my heart
