[Intro]
Soft light, kettle singing, shadows on the wall
Tonight I choose a slower beat, the quiet fits me all
[Verse 1]
Friday glows in amber jars, the city hums outside
I pull my chair to the window seat, let small comforts be my guide
A book, a mug, a blanket's edge, the clock forgets to run
In this small harbor called my home, I float till stars are spun
[Chorus]
I stay in, I breathe in slow, I savor what I know
The world can rush, but I’m not in a chase, I’m where my quiet rivers flow
And if the night grows loud again, I’ll choose this gentler show
Cause peace is a pocket I keep close, wherever I go
[Verse 2]
A playlist hums like a friend who knows my pace just right
A recipe, a laugh from a screen, the kettle keeps it light
Dust motes drift in the lamp's soft glow, a tiny universe
I own this small, familiar shore, I’m steady, I’m diverse
[Chorus]
I stay in, I breathe in slow, I savor what I know
The world can rush, but I’m not in a chase, I’m where my quiet rivers flow
And if the night grows loud again, I’ll choose this gentler show
Cause peace is a pocket I keep close, wherever I go
[Bridge]
No need for loud adventures, no need to forget my name
Here in this safe harbor, I protect what stays the same
[Chorus]
I stay in, I breathe in slow, I savor what I know
The world can rush, but I’m not in a chase, I’m where my quiet rivers flow
And if the night grows loud again, I’ll choose this gentler show
Cause peace is a pocket I keep close, wherever I go
[Outro]
Friday fades to gentle blue, the room knows what I chose
Home is the quiet anthem, and I’m listening close
