[Verse 1]
The kettle sighs; your laugh hangs in the steam,
Your jacket on the chair still smells like rain and clean nicotine.
A coffee ring curls on the note you left at two,
A postcard on my door that reads "stay" — written in your blue.
[Pre-Chorus]
Can you feel it rising like the tide up from above?
This heartbeat's learning how to move — and what it is to love.
[Chorus]
I love you, I love you — watch me learn to stay,
I'll leave your window open so morning finds your face.
I love you, I love you — not just words, it's what I do:
I fold your winter gloves beside the light, I keep the coffee warm for you.
[Verse 2]
Your keys still jingle in the bowl, like a small, honest song,
The vinyl spins our crooked waltz where all our small mistakes belong.
Your cologne is midnight citrus, lemon rind and town bus smoke,
I trace the map of tiny things — the lamp you fix, the joke you broke.
[Pre-Chorus]
Can you feel it lifting like a chorus from the blue?
I'm learning how to show it — every quiet thing I do.
[Chorus]
I love you, I love you — watch me learn to stay,
I'll leave your window open so morning finds your face.
I love you, I love you — not just words, it's what I do:
I fold your winter gloves beside the light, I keep the coffee warm for you.
[Bridge]
Remember the postcard folded in the drawer, the coffee stain like a moon?
You hummed a verse to steady me; I kept the melody in tune.
I'll hang the lights you like, untangle the cords of doubt,
I'll keep the map you gave me — I'll bring the evening sunlight out.
[Alternative Chorus Option]
I love you, I love you — watch me make a home,
I'll prop the curtains open, let the whole bright morning in.
I love you, I love you — these little truths I show:
A postcard saved, a coffee kept, a window propped against the cold.
[Final Chorus — Key Lift]
I love you, I love you — watch me learn to stay,
I'll leave your window open so morning finds your face.
I love you, I love you — in every small thing done:
I plant the light beside your name, I'll sing the same song till it's won.
[Outro]
I love you, I love you — a whisper and a door,
A coffee ring, a postcard blue, I love you more and more.
Leave the window open — let the morning find us two,
I love you, I love you — I'll keep showing up for you.
