Keep the Kettle Warm — Milo Rainwater

Verse

Rooftop static, one bar left on my phone

Steam off the mug in the hour I'm alone

Grid below me looks like stars fell down

Amber windows stitched across the town

Pre-Chorus

Do the lights ever wonder who's looking back

Do the trains ever slow on the same worn track

I'm not falling, I'm just letting go

Just enough to feel the wind and float

Chorus

I'm floating over city lights

Nowhere to land, nowhere I need to be tonight

Streets like veins of gold and blue

Keep the kettle warm, I'm coming back for you

Verse

Elevator hums a lullaby in steel

Ninth floor window, watch the taillights peel

Somebody's playing sax two blocks down

Notes drift up and settle without a sound

Pre-Chorus

Do the lights ever wonder who's looking back

Do the trains ever slow on the same worn track

I'm not falling, I'm just letting go

Just enough to feel the wind and float

Chorus

I'm floating over city lights

Nowhere to land, nowhere I need to be tonight

Streets like veins of gold and blue

Keep the kettle warm, I'm coming back for you

Bridge

Maybe home's not a door or a key

Maybe it's just this quiet, holding me

The city hums low, a porch light left on

I'll drift till the dark turns into dawn

Chorus

I'm floating over city lights

Nowhere to land, nowhere I need to be tonight

Streets like veins of gold and blue

Keep the kettle warm, I'm coming back for you
