Soft Alarm

[Verse 1] Curtain light on the far side of the room Kettle warming up the quiet air You move slow enough to change the morning Like careful hands arranging prayer No headlines in the first few minutes No rushing toward another storm Just your voice above the sink Making ordinary weather warm [Pre-Chorus] Stay the kind of love that enters lightly Stay the kind that does not need to prove Anything louder than a whisper Anything bigger than the truth [Chorus] Be my soft alarm Not a siren, not a warning Just the light beneath the curtain And your laugh inside the morning Be my soft alarm Something gentle I can trust Wake me with the kind of love That never makes a spectacle of us [Verse 2] Toast crumbs, bare feet, open windows Plants leaning toward the day You read a line and pass the paper Like small peace can be handed away The city will ask for all our speed later It can keep its sharpened edge Right now the whole world fits inside This little breathing window ledge [Pre-Chorus] Stay the kind of love that enters lightly Stay the kind that knows the room How to make a slow beginning Feel like something new can bloom [Chorus] Be my soft alarm Not a siren, not a warning Just the light beneath the curtain And your laugh inside the morning Be my soft alarm Something gentle I can trust Wake me with the kind of love That never makes a spectacle of us [Bridge] If the day comes hard and heavy Let this be the thing I keep The proof that tenderness can find me Before the city reaches me [Final Chorus] Be my soft alarm Not a siren, not a warning Just the light beneath the curtain And your laugh inside the morning Be my soft alarm Something gentle I can trust Wake me with the kind of love That never makes a spectacle of us
