Envelope Glue Strip

[Intro]

(Peel) Soft strip —

Seals the note

[Verse 1]

Kitchen light on quiet drums, I fold the letter slow,

I peel the strip until it sticks — a tiny yes I know;

Paper edge like a soft hello, the glue stays kind and clear,

If care can fit in one small peel, then I can leave it here.

[Pre-Chorus]

Hold the peel... breathe in...

Ready.

[Chorus]

Envelope glue strip — I'm sealing in,

Little sticky yes against my palm;

Words go out a little soft, words go out a little soft,

If the note feels kind, that's fair —

Envelope glue strip — I'm sealing in,

Warm air window hum, quiet grin;

Words go out a little soft, words go out a little soft,

Peel it once and I begin.

[Verse 2]

Later on I find the stamp where the corner still stays,

No speech required, just a hand that kept a promise small;

I stack the notes like a soft parade — the strip rests on the desk,

Ordinary care in kitchen light is how I send it home.

[Pre-Chorus]

Hold the peel... breathe in...

Ready.

[Chorus]

Envelope glue strip — I'm sealing in,

Little sticky yes against my palm;

Words go out a little soft, words go out a little soft,

If the note feels kind, that's fair —

Envelope glue strip — I'm sealing in,

Warm air window hum, quiet grin;

Words go out a little soft, words go out a little soft,

Peel it once and I begin.

[Bridge]

Not every brave thing needs a stage,

Some of them fit in a strip I saved;

Paper and hope in equal parts —

Ink looks good on a starting day.

[Final Chorus]

Envelope glue strip — I'm sealing in,

Little sticky yes against my palm;

Words go out a little soft, words go out a little soft,

If the note feels kind, that's fair —

Envelope glue strip — I'm sealing in,

Warm air window hum, quiet grin;

Words go out a little soft — and I begin,

Peel it once and I begin.

[Outro]

(Peel) Soft strip...

Words go soft.
