Shoelace Soft Eyelet

[Intro]

(She) Soft lace —

(He) Eyelet waits

[Verse 1 — She]

Quiet shoelace on the step, an eyelet waiting soft,

I thread it through with careful hands — a careful little pass;

[Verse 1 — He]

No hurry in the porch light, just warmth enough to stay,

If comfort can be this ordinary, then it can start today.

[Pre-Chorus]

(Both) Hold it close... breathe slow...

Ready.

[Chorus]

Shoelace soft eyelet — we're holding kind,

Little steady yes inside our hands;

Warm stays soft a little bright, warm stays soft a little bright,

If the day feels safe, that's fair —

Shoelace soft eyelet — we're holding kind,

Quiet lace and quiet grin;

Warm stays soft a little bright, warm stays soft a little bright,

Hold it once and we begin.

[Verse 2 — He]

Later on the lace is calm, the eyelet holds a pale gold line,

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

[Verse 2 — She]

I leave the step to catch the light — the day can find its pace,

Ordinary care in morning light is how we hold the space.

[Pre-Chorus]

(Both) Hold it close... breathe slow...

Ready.

[Chorus]

Shoelace soft eyelet — we're holding kind,

Little steady yes inside our hands;

Warm stays soft a little bright, warm stays soft a little bright,

If the day feels safe, that's fair —

Shoelace soft eyelet — we're holding kind,

Quiet lace and quiet grin;

Warm stays soft a little bright, warm stays soft a little bright,

Hold it once and we begin.

[Bridge]

(She) Not every comfort needs a stage,

(He) Some of them fit on a soft lace page;

(Both) Hope and light in equal parts —

Morning looks good on a careful heart.

[Final Chorus]

Shoelace soft eyelet — we're holding kind,

Little steady yes inside our hands;

Warm stays soft a little bright, warm stays soft a little bright,

If the day feels safe, that's fair —

Shoelace soft eyelet — we're holding kind,

Quiet lace and quiet grin;

Warm stays soft a little bright — and we begin,

Hold it once and we begin.

[Outro]

(She) Soft lace...

(He) Warm stays soft.
